I m very new to Iphone development and started making iPhone apps and not having an iPhone,
so I'm considering buying an iPod touch,
now the question is : 1. Can i test my iphone apps in ipod touch and Submit to itunes store ?
2.Can i Create a Developer Account without having an iphone(with ipod)?
I have no idea how to test the app on the device and/or get the app onto the app store. so kindle help me.
1) Yes you can test your app in iPod touch..but note that some features are available for only iPhone that are not available on iPod(call..etc..).so i will suggest you buy a phone rather than iPod
2)Can i Create a Developer Account without having an iphone(with iPod)? .-- Yes you can ..you won't have any issue with that
Absolutely you can use iPod touch! Unless of course you are using features that are only available on the iPhone device. In xCode just instead of the simulator select the device. You might have to open the organizer and then set the device as the development device. All this is performed with a single click of a button in xCode 4.X.

I have developed some apps by xcode.How to make sure my apps can only be downloaded by iphone user in apple store but ipad user?
You have to change the targeted device to iPhone only.
Select you project in Xcode, Go to Info-->Deployment Info--->Device, set it to iPhone.
We have successfully uploaded our app on appstore & now its ready for sale & listed in itunes.
But the problem is its displaying that it will run on iphone / ipad / ipod as well,
Where as our app should run only on iphone.
We have checked the info.plist file & there its showing targeted device family as iPhone.
Edit 1: Our app needs to send sms. So, we dont want our app to run on devices which cant send
SMS.
Please let me know what I am missing.
Every iPhone app must run on the iPad.
If it doesn't say "Universal" then you are fine.
Ideally every application should run on iPad but while submitting the application you can also set the target device family in iTunes Connect. Please visit your iTunes Connect portal.
Apple's guidelines may say that they will reject iPhone apps that don't run on an iPad in 1x/2x compatibility mode.
I want to develop app and games on IOS platform。
Can I use a iPod Touch 4 to develop games for iPhone and iPod Touch？ ( leave out the hardware difference, like GPS or phone call )
If it could, when I complete my app and debugged with iPod Touch, is it has some limit to publish my app in Apple App Store?
You can use an iPod Touch to do the hardware debugging (as long as you aren't using iPhone specific hardware), there is no requirement for an iPhone, you can also use the simulator to help debug. Apple has no limitation on requiring you to debug on an iPhone.
In Short, Yes you can develop without testing on an iPhone and publish to the app store with no issues.
Yes, you technically could use whatever you want. Just make sure your build settings are set properly/
i implemented an application for iPhone, i just wanted to know that can i deploy iPhone app on iPod device via Xcode?
is it good idea or not?
my application needs internet connection every time, because to perform any operation app have to make request to web-server and web-server will response.
thank you in advance
To install an app to an iOS device, (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad) you will need to purchase a developer certificate from Apple. You will need to be a member, visit iOS Dev Center to join. The membership cost $99 for a year and you can deploy/test your app on 100 devices. After your testing, you can submit your app to "App Store."
It makes no difference if you use an iPhone or an iPod, so long as your app doesn't use any features that only the iPhone has (vibrate, making calls, etc). They run the same OS, and so any app that you can install on an iPhone you can also install on an iPod.
Edit I'm assuming you mean iPod Touch...
I have some iphone application that I created. I want to test my application in ipod touch. How can I test my application in ipod touch? Now I have no Apple id my own. If I open an id then how many applications can be tested with that id?
If you have an available solution then please give me the answer and help me.
If you want to test iPhone applications on a device, you'll need to be apply for the iPhone Developer Program. It costs $99 and will also let you submit applications to the App Store.
Once you are accepted, you can develop an unlimited number of applications (and submit them to the App Store) with your one identity.
Get an apple id and download the dev kit. It has all you need, including an emulator and a method for installing on local devices.
