Do you count the money you spent on the Mac and the iOS device?
- almata 10y agoI'm pretty sure stevetrewick wasn't talking about this when he wrote "and realised that just to run hello world I would need to give Apple money and then do those things that you said". If you put it that way, it's impossible to write any code and run it on any device without paying something to some company.
- stevetrewick 10y agoQuite. It's not even a huge amount considering all the other stuff you get along with it (and it was less then) but it still felt weird as I'd just come off a stint of Windows Mobile stuff (shudder) which was pretty much plug in and hack - though of course in that case you still have to give MSFT money for the dev tools. (And the host. And the devices. And the chair to sit on ...)
- stevetrewick 10y agoI actually did, that spend was part of an NRE package for an R&D contract and the cost was borne by the client. How it works. If the point you're making is that the additional developer fee is marginal, you are of course quite corrrect.
- simonh 10y agoDon't forget the bus ticket to get to the Apple Store to buy them in the first place.
- 72deluxe 10y agoHa don't forget the cost of the clothes you wore there, and the sustenance you had to eat for energy that day. These things work out expensive!
