Having an Apple ID

To develop for iOS, you need a Macintosh computer and an Apple ID to log in to the App Store. This will permit you to build iOS apps that run on your personal device.

We also recommend that you have an Apple Developer account. It costs $99 USD per year but is your admission ticket to the tools and services, including the setup provisioning profiles needed to share and test your app on other devices. You can find out more about the Apple Developer Program at https://developer.apple.com/programs/.
