iOS Question IOS Developer Account?

sfsameer said:

Hello everyone,

Am really sorry if am sounding too stupid here,i have purchased the 145$ package but i found out that to get the host builder to work i have to have an apple developer account which costs another (99$) so i have created a virtual machine for the local mac builder, Catalina Mac OS.
installed the JAVA Jdk8 + the xcode 11

but while am reading the tutorial i also found out that i have to create an apple developer account even if am using local mac builder.

my question is :
is there any way to bypass paying 99$ because it's a local mac builder and not hosted builder?
is there any way to create an apple developer account for FREE ?

Thank you

I don't think there's any way to avoid Apple's $99/yr cost

Requirements

• Apple developer account (costs $99 per year).
• An iOS device running iOS 8+.

The compilation process requires a Mac computer. You can either use a local Mac computer or use our Hosted Mac Builder service (currently costs $26 per year). Note that if you use a local Mac computer then you can develop with the iOS simulator which does not require an Apple developer account.
