Joining the iOS Developer Program

Registering as an Apple developer and enrolling in one of the iOS Developer Programs are prerequisites for anyone wishing to write iOS apps.

Although you can enroll in a free program, if you want to install your applications on devices and distribute them in the App Store, you will need to pay a $99 annual fee to join the standard program.

Those developing with the iOS SDK can select the free program and test their apps using the iOS simulator, which is provided with Apple's official development tools. Unfortunately, native iOS apps built with Flash Professional do not run on the simulator. Therefore, if you want to fully test the examples provided in this book, you will need to install them on an iOS device.
