iOS Question Uploading apps to device without paying $99/year

[walterf25]

Hi all, i read this article today https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/one-android-best-features-just-quietly-arrived-iphone-142504668.html

Erel I was wondering if this will be possible with B4i, it would be a great deal and I think i speak for most of the developers, I myself would like to build apps for personal use but hate the idea of having to pay $99 dollars a year just so that I can upload my app to my own device.

Would this be possible?

Thanks,
Walter

Would this be possible?

Its possible. I think you mean to ask, is this probable?

I meant is it possible to do with B4i!

This is indeed very interesting. I hope that we will be able to use this from B4i however I first need to exactly understand how the new process works.

It would certainly make the b4i product more attractive to people if they don't "have" to have an apple account.

Thanks Erel, if anyone can make this happen it's you!

Keep us posted!

Waiting for your solution.

in classroom, I have problem in installing my ios applications (developed with xcode) on my student ipads.

Specially with ios 8.3 ( Both directly from my developing MAC ,and from IFUN)

Hi Erel, any thoughts on whether this would be actually able to be done anytime soon or on the next B4i update?

Waiting for your reply, i've been hholding off on buying B4i only because of all the restrictions apple has on app development, but i'd be willing to give it a try if this it would be possible to develop apps without having to pay the $99 dollar fee.

Thanks,
Walter

Starting from B4i v2.00 you can develop with the simulator and it doesn't require an Apple license (it does however require a local Mac).

The iOS simulator is a good solution for development (unlike the Android emulator).

Not sure this means you can actually run a B4I app on a phyiscal device without an apple developer account ...

 

[Erel]

No. This means that you can develop using the simulator without the developer account.
