iOS Question Best way to start without an developer license

[droidman]

Hi, in the past i have developed for android with b4a and recently i had a simple game idea that i wanted to implement for iphone. Today I renewed my license for B4i and b4a with the hosted compiler, when i go to compile i saw in the tutorial that i need some stuff that i cannot get right now since my apple dev account expired. I wanted to avoid wasting the 99 USD right now cuz i'm low on cash at the moment, so to start my game what is the best option so that i can test it on my phone or at least on an emulator on my pc? use B4A and then after finishing convert to b4i ? any other ideas?
thanks in advance

You cant. Welcome to Apples Ecosystem.

You must renew your developer account.

Other than this, you would have to patch xcode to build with expired certificates, and then use a jailbroken device for testing otherwise.

But i can make and test the game on my computer using an android emulator and later when the game is ready compile it for IOS on b4i right ? i saw that i might need to change a bit of code

If you have a local Mac then you can develop with the simulator. There is no iOS simulator for Windows.

See XUI2D examples. 98% of the code is shared between B4A, B4i and B4J.
