Apple is making it easier for students and other casual developers to try their hand at building apps for its products, by allowing them to test an app on their personal devices for free.</p><p>
Since the inception of the iOS Developer Program, developers watching to test an app on an iPhone or iPad needed to pay Apple $99 a year for membership. Now, anyone with an Apple ID will be able to download the company’s Xcode development environment and use it to build an iOS app and test it on a device they own. It’s a big shift from the company’s previous policy, and a change that makes it easier for people to try out Apple’s platform without worrying about cost.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2933052/apple-frees-casual-ios-developers-of-membership-requirement.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
