iOS Question When Apple developer account is required

[b4auser1]

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.

Can I develop without an Apple developer account with a real device using B4i-Bridge:
1) if I have Mac Host builder ?
2) If I have local Mac computer ?

No.

If you have a local Mac then you can develop with the simulator without a developer account (you will not be able to submit your app to the app store without an account).

No.

If you have a local Mac then you can develop with the simulator without a developer account (you will not be able to submit your app to the app store without an account).

A follow up question:
Using a local Mac with the simulator how can other users install the app? Can it be distributed from a private server?

 

[Erel]

Other users cannot install the app. You must have a developer account for that.

Pretty expensive to pay 99$ if you want to distribute a free app. Can several users share a developer account? I know that you can select private or company developer account. Registering one company account you could probably let several user use the same key and distribute under the same name.

Can several users share a developer account?

Technically yes. You will need to check with Apple terms whether it is allowed or not.

It's to trivial issue for Apple lawyers
Briefly, is not allowed. Details below:
