No us common people ONLY use Xcode, which is a 4.8GB Download from the Mac App Store and then you have to sign up and be a OS X Developer for $99/yr with Apple at their App Developer Portal or once a registered Developer you can get it from the portal with a lot of other Downloads too. Then if you want to develop for iOS and the iPhone and iPad, then you have to register at the same link and pay $99/yr too, to be a iOS Dev as well.

HTH

Cheers

what the ****!!!!! 99/yr hahahah... and does the xcodec develop OS X'S?

Xcode is the suite of software development tools to create software for OS X and iOS.

If your good enough you will make it back in no time. You have a lot of knowledge and technical data at your finger tips when you become a paid up developer, as well as the experts in the Dev Forums, and that in itself is worth $99/yr. If you think thats heavy, then you aren't committed enough to become a developer.

As they say, you need to spend money to make money.

well,that's good ^_^ thanks buddies

Not true, many people, including myself, use a whole suite of tools sans Xcode to develop applications. Xcode is only useful if you plan to use Cocoa and Objective-C. Otherwise, it's utterly useless.

You can develop apps without being a registered developer as well. In that case, you can't submit it to the Mac App Store or sign your apps but other than that, you're more than free to develop Cocoa/Obj-C apps without being a registered developer.

This is true. If you want to develop for iOS, you have no choice but to join Apple's developer program.
