I wrote WP7 apps. I can't justify paying $99 once, let alone each year for the privilege of developing for a fledgling platform.
The fee is $8 for the first year right now, but note they still charge you $99 and refund the difference in 30-45 days.
- desigooner 14y agoAt $8, I thought it was worth a punt and decided to sign up. Alas, I cannot complete the process as it gives me an error each time I try to submit the payment information. Only if MSFT got their sh!t together..
- cbhl 14y agoSo, I ran into this problem -- found out that you have to have the same password on the developer center as you do for your Windows LIVE account. If you have a more secure (or just different) password on the former (e.g. because you have a grandfathered Hotmail account) then you need to change both to be the same to finish the registration process. I suspect that there's some hokeyness in the back-end where the developer center logs in to your Windows LIVE account to mangle something or other.
- desigooner 14y agoNot sure that'd be accurate for me since I logged into the dev center using the live account I have (non-hotmail).
