BecomeAnIPhoneDeveloper

=Becoming an iPhone Developer, jeez, do I qualify?!? =

 To become an iPhone developer you must have a valid email address.

 That's it.

 I thought there might be more to it, I don't know, something like proving you can do programming at a particular level, belong to a development company with proven output. Nope, as long as you agree to Apple's terms and conditions you can become a registered iPhone developer. This is the first step you will need to take if you want to put Apps on an actual iPhone.

 Register as an iPhone Developer - You can develop an App which you can prog ram and test on the iPhone **simulator**. (This is important to remember for later, you can't test on an actual device just yet)

 You will need:
 * to be a registered iPhone developer (no cost)
 * a Mac running either Leopard, Snow Leopard or any subsequent Mac OS
 * to have downloaded the iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit) from the [|iPhone Dev Center.]

 This is a very easy process and the longest part is downloading the SDK...really not a big deal.

Second Step
Enroll in an Apple Developer Program - You can Develop an App that can be tested and used/sold on an actual iPhone.

You will need:


 * To be a registered iPhone Developer(that was step 1)
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">To be enrolled in an iPhone Developer Program (US$99 year for individual program is the* basic program)
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">A Mac running one of the last two operating systems(you should have this if you did step 1)
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">An iPhone to test your Apps, the simulator is good but still not the real thing.(highly recommended)
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Have downloaded the iPhone SDK (you should have already done this in step 1)
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Patience, this process is extremely slow and there is no timely response to queries you make to Apple
