Back in the day if you wanted to develop for PalmOS you had to pay Metroworks (IIRC) $~300 for their CodeWarrior C++ compiler, so the fact that XCode is free is a pretty big improvement.

XCode is free? Where can I download it for my Linux PC? XCode is not free, just like macOS is not free; you just pay for them when you (over)pay for your mac hardware.

  Then Linux isn’t free either, since you have to buy hardware to run it on.

We also had prc-tools, a free GCC based toolchain. I used it to build a tweaked version of pssh and some other stuff. It was a lot more straightforward than modern Android or iOS development. https://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/ https://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/

Doesn’t it cost 99/year to have a special apple account that lets you develop for iOS?
