To be fair, if you develop the app yourself you can install it on your iPhone without any problem, you connect your phone and install it through Xcode.

- MilaM 2y agoTrue, but you have to rebuild the app every six or seven days, because it stops working. Unless you shell out for the paid developer account I think. Then your apps won't expire. My guess is that Apple thinks this route could be used to circumvent the App Store.
- lolinder 2y ago> Then your apps won't expire. Correction: then your apps will last a year before they expire. You'll still need to reinstall yearly.
- _lvbh 2y agoThat still requires a MacBook. It makes it almost impossible for open source developers to make applications for IOS
- xandrius 2y agoOpen source != owning a mac I agree that the hardware requirement is bullshit and mostly unnecessary.
- alt227 2y agoXcode only works on a Mac, and to do it you need to be registered in the Apple developer program. So if you want to develop an app for iPhone you can do it no problem, as long as you buy another apple device to code it on, pay Apple the subscription fee to join the developer program, and then you can install it on your Apple phone.
