hi, all
how to setup the Xojo to build an IOS ipa without paied $99 to Apple ? Tks!
Does it was possible ?
It’s not possible. Apple’s got you by the short ones. (Eng. expression, sorry)
It does support Xcode 7.1, but there’s no way around Apple’s $99 fee to publish- no matter what tool you use.
However you CAN deploy to your own devices without paying the developer cost… This is new with Xcode 7
and I assume it is supported by Xojo for iOS
You still have to sign them either way
If you can get a signing cert without joining then I suppose you could
This infers that no signing is require for your own device
where it says
[i]Free On-Device Development
Now everyone can run and test their own app on a devicefor free. You can run and debug your own creations on a Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch without any fees, and no programs to join. All you need to do is enter your free Apple ID into Xcode. You can even use the same Apple ID you already use for the App Store or iTunes. Once youve perfected your app the Apple Developer Program can help you get it on the App Store.
See Launching Your App on Devices for detailed information about installing and running on devices.

And Launching Your App on Devices https://developer.apple.com/library/watchos/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/LaunchingYourApponDevices/LaunchingYourApponDevices.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH27
starts off with
[i]Launching Your App on Devices
All iOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps must be code signed and provisioned to launch on a device. [/i]
Then Apple lied or at very least mis-led everyone
a) you can’t sign without a developers certificate
b) you can’t get a developers certificate without paying a fee
which directly contradicts
I do have certificates… but thats not the point
Signing is still required. They just give you a local-only key if you don’t have a dev account.
Xcode would still gather the needed certificates, etc.
