Is there a way to test MY apps on MY device without paying the $99 fee?
I know you can jailbreak but honestly I don't like jailbreaking battery seems to die fast and stuff.
Im only a teenager and paying $99 for something I like to do in my free time is bogus.
I don't make anything GOOD yet that I could sell but I like just experimenting and showing friends, Yes i made that.

Thanks

Nope - the only (legal/ethical) way to install development apps on a device is through proper Apple provisioning. This is not made available until you have paid the $99 to become an "official" developer.

Does kind of suck for those that just want a simple, very specific app that isn't worth distributing with iTunes.
