canalrun Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 18, 2014 #5 You must have a developer account in order to install your app on a real device... If you think about it logically then this requirement adds a one-time cost of about $7 to the price of B4i Click to expand... Are there several types of Apple Developer Accounts? On the Apple page I see $99 per year for an iOS developer account. Is this $7 one time cost account something different? Barry. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 19, 2014 #8 That is correct!!! Note that a single developer license allows you to install your app on 100 test devices. This is probably more than what a single developer needs. This means that multiple developers can group and purchase a single account. Though the App Store developer name will be the same for all of them. Upvote 0

If a dev group will purchase only 1 account how will the publishing work? would all dev group publish the app with the same developer name? if yes then its not really a good solution, i would like to have my own app account so no one can log to it and make any changes...

Click to expand... This is not correct! The solution is: you (99 developers) pay the license, I publish the apps and gain I wonder what percentage Apple holds. 10% less than Google Play would be enough! Upvote 0

canalrun Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 19, 2014 #13 I think the $99 developer account is intended for an individual developer (or maybe a small development company with a few developers). It will give you a single developer name for publishing (anything published by a small group will be published under the one developer account name). It allows you to have 100 test devices – these might include a few different iPhones, some iPods, and some iPads. I don't think a single developer's account can be shared by multiple unrelated (as in a small company) developers. I have also seen an Enterprise Developers Account mentioned. I have not looked into this. Apple keeps 30% of revenue – the same as Google. I am happy with Amazon.com (I am in the USA) as a source for low-cost Mac Minis. Until a few days ago the low-cost entry model seemed to be: Apple Mac Mini MD387LL/A Refurbished units pop-up every once in a while for under $500. You have to be fast though. They disappear quickly after they become available. The site CamelCamelCamel.com will send email alerts to you when your price point is met for an item on Amazon.com. Barry.

Osi Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 23, 2014 #17 Yes, but don't buy those horrible "new" mac minis, they benchmark MUCH MUCH less than the previous (2012) models, including worse internals. Refurb is the way to go, especially for a quad core. Upvote 0
