I’m new to programming for iOS and on MacOs, so excuse me for asking a dumb question here.
But I wonder if I really need the iOS developer license or that I can jailbreak my iPad and then just develop for it. Would I be able to use the free version of Xcode with the latter?
Or would I still need to get the license to get the iOS Xcode?
Not that I am into warez, but jailbreaking is legal (where I live), so if I would buy the developer license just to publish apps, I would postpone this untill necessary.
There’s an app called Jailcoder, which I discovered in a now deleted post (https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/34802/8699). It sets up Xcode and indvidual project files so that the resulting apps can be run on jailbroken iOS devices without a developer’s license (and can apparently revert the changes, though I haven’t tried this).
