I signed up for the iOS Developer Program just to obtain my License to sell my apps in the app store. I have a team of online programmers doing the app for me and submit it using my name. So is there any need for a Mac? As in to access the program i.e See how is my app doing, see my revenues or see the sample my developer send me. Is the program able to run on windows. Thank you : ) Sorry for the noob question

I hav'nt used a Windows PC for years, so you can probably awnser your own question.

Have you tried accessing the App store from your Windows PC?

If the awnser is no then you will need a Mac.

To run your developers sample programs, you will also need an iOS device, or a Mac with the
developer tools installed, so you can run and test the samples on the iOS simulator.

If your going into the Mac or iOS app business, then I would recommend you get yourself a Mac.
