lol did they really make it paid on ios
It costs money to be an iOS developer
Serious companies pay their devs.
I dont get, can you give more context
They will literally ask for some money to get a developer account
https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/
$99 a year
to publish ios apps you need to run xcode, last time I checked (admittedly it's been 7ish years) - and you need to build on mac hardware. none of which is cheap, especially for devs who don't see any additional revenue from their ios apps.
They also force you to pay a 99USD yearly fee just for the privilege of being a developer.
yep.
IOS and any apple device is shockingly expensive to develop for.
