Is the iOS add-on required for pre-store development?

Hello,

Is it possible to develop and test on iOS without paying for the iOS add-on?
I would love to be able to see if I have a viable game before making that investment.
I am hoping that it is only required in order to build for the App Store.

Thanks,

Seamus

No thats not possible.

To do any iOS development you need the iOS addon and if you ever want to test it you also need to be a paying iOS developer on the apple side

Thanks for clearing that up, Dreamora.

I am an Apple developer. I have been using Corona SDK, which uses the model I described.
I was hoping Unity might have the same setup.

Cheers,

Seamus

You can use the Unity iOS 30 Day’s Trail version to test. But if you like to sell your stuff you need to buy.

yup- I don’t see how, since you’d wanna test it and optimize it using an iOS device
