A 9-year-old Indian girl living in Dubai recently received praise from Apple CEO Tim Cook for creating iOS software for iPhones. In her initial letter to Cook, 9-year-old Hana Muhammad Rafeeq claimed to be the youngest iOS developer. The “Hanas” storytelling app, which enables parents to record stories, was reportedly created by her.
After she highlighted her software and other achievements in the email, the CEO of Apple reportedly complimented her in his email reply. There are kid-friendly stories in Hana’s free iOS app. She was motivated to create the app after realizing how few parents have the time to read to their kids. The software was created while Hanna was only 8 years old.
In an email, Hana asserted that she was the youngest person in history to have learned coding, having done it when she was five years old. For this software, she wrote nearly 10,000 lines of code.
Her application has no pre-made third-party libraries, classes, or codes. She stated that a brief sneak peek would be appreciated.
She also provided hyperlinks to her YouTube videos. When Hana’s father, Mohammed Rafeeq, first got the email, Hana was dozing asleep. He insisted that he had awakened her to inform her of the situation. She stood up right away and quickly went to the bathroom. Her awakening usually takes some time, but not this time.
Tim Cook congratulated her by email for all of her outstanding accomplishments at such a young age. He also said that she would achieve great things if she persisted.
Hana claims that building the storytelling iOS app that enables parents to record stories for their children in their voices needed 10,000 lines of code. She took inspiration from a documentary she watched. Parents can record stories for their children to listen to as they fall asleep.
