I have an iPod touch.
I have a Mac.
I want to put an iPod touch app I write with my Mac on my iPod touch.
I don't plan to sell it on the Apple store.
I don't plan to distribute it to other people.
Is there anyway to do this without paying apple $99?
Thanks!
Short answer NO.
To download an app to a device you need to sign it, and the only way to sign is to sign up for the dev programme
No if you do not jailbreak your phone.
Not without jailbreaking the iPod Touch which would violate all sorts of agreements :)
You'll need the apple developer account (for $99) to code sign your application. Without this you will not be able to install it on a physical device, only on the simulator.
You could ask a fellow registered iPhone developer to help you out by signing it then sending it back to you so you can install it like a typical ad-hoc distributed app.
No, I'll need to buy a development license and you can put your app in your iPod!
Get a guy who has paid $99. Tell him to hook you up with a provisioned profile for your app, registering your device with the app name.
Install the provisioned profile file, and the app from xcode and you still have your clean phone.

I had developed an iOS Application using PhoneGap Framework. It's working good and well in simulator. Now I would like to test it in real device i.e iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0. I Googled thoroughly. I have two ways: jailbreak the device (not acceptable to me) or bidding the account in Apple portal.
Is there any other way to test my device my application in real device? Is there anybody here to solve my issue?
The official way is to enter the iOS Developer Program (99$), so that you will get the possibility to create certificates and provisioning profiles required. You will also get the chance to distribute your apps through the App Store.
If you are not willing to do it, the other way is jailbreaking your device, which is basically a way to circumvent the need to use certificates for your apps. Your app would then be distributed through an alternative app store like Cydia (i.e, no Apple App Store).
A third option could be getting in touch with an iOS developer friend of yours, and ask him/her to build the app for your device, so you can install it through iTunes.
There are no other options.
You have to register for a developer certificate in Apple.Developer.Then create provisioning profiles and install it. Otherwise you cant install your app in a real device.

I am planning to do an app for personal use only (I don't want to upload anywhere, ex: AppStore)
Is it possible to build one and transfer + install it to my jailbroken IpodTouch?
I just want to make sure it is possible so I don't waste my time creating an app that I can't use ('cause I am not paying $99 to upload it on the AppStore)
Here is a guide for making build & go and build & debug work with a jailbroken iPhone/iPod touch.
It is written for Xcode 3.2.1 and iPhone OS 3.1.2 so I don't know if it works with the newer versions.

You might want to consider using an online tool like Recoil App Builder or Snappii. Snappii is more AppStore oriented, but their pricing is pretty reasonable. Recoil is free and allows you to install the app on your phone instantly without going through any AppStore hurdles.

Btw, regardless of how you make your app, I do NOT recommend jailbreaking your phone.
You have to pay the $99 to get it on your phone in the first place. Sorry.
You can if you get an app provisioning profile. or Jailbreak, if a jailbreak isn't available for your device iPhone5(s) iPad 4 and Air, mini and retina. You can just purchase a provisioning profile from some other place usually $8-$15 mine was $14 able to load them nicely without paying apple $100 just to get your feet wet.
I am developing my first iPad app using the iOS SDK 4 and Xcode 3.2. I have written a simple Hello World and have been able to run it in the iPhone simulator. I would like to figure out:
How can I get an iPad simulator?
Is it possible to test my app on my actual iPad without signing up for a developers license for $99?
Thanks,
Mike
There are unoffical ways to get your app onto your device, you have to jailbreak it and install software called AppSync from cydia. This voids your warranty if Apple find out (restoring the device to it's original settings using the restore button in itunes means they can't tell, so jus trestore before you go to an Apple shop) and if they do find out it might prejudice them against you as a developer (but chances are very slim)
(I have no problem giving specific details as the US Government has said that jailbreaking is legal)

The SDK includes an iPad simulator. I don't have my Mac in front of me, but you should be able to choose which device to target when you launch the simulator. You can also switch between iPhone and iPad mode from within the simulator - check the Hardware menu.
Yes, you have to have a paid developer membership to deploy code to your device. That's the only official way.
If you have jailbroken, then install app sync from the Hackulo.us repo. Just sync your app in iTunes without signing it. It will work easy as Pi!
This is yet another way to keep flash from getting to iPads, if you could put your own on the device without going through apple then you could also put someone else's. I think it should be allowed, but if something doesn't work on software that isn't officially released it shouldn't be supported by Apple.
I've just made a basic Hello World app for the iPhone. Compiling and running works fine for iPhone Simulator. But now I'd like to put it on my real physical iPhone, to test it. Is there any way to do this, or do I have to pay $100, put it in the app store and download it (with the chance Apple doesn't like it and just deletes it (what happened to Google Latitude too))?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, I'll not jailbreak it.
Once you have an iPhone developer's account, you can install a provisioning profile on your iPhone which allows to deploy your own applications to it. You'll have to pay the fee to Apple, though.
No. Transfering it to any iPhone for beta testing requires access to the online iPhone Developers Portal. You'll only get in there and get to generate the certificates with a developers licence.
AFAIK you can not transfer your self-developed tool to your own iPhone. At least, that's what I've read...
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.
