Ok, so can we just get this out in the open once and for all?
::::::::::::
Do you or do you not have to go through the iOS dev center to test your game on iPhone or can you simply do a private test?

If the latter is possible, please explain. Thank you in advance.

    So the answer would be no, you can't test apps on your iPhone without purchasing a Developer Connection from Apple.

    Is there any possible work-around whatsoever?

    Hmm well maybe you should rethink your diet haha.... But you're right it isn't a terrible amount to spend over a year's time. I'll probably invest in it once I've gotten farther on my game.

    It would just be nice to see how it plays on a real device with an accelerometer but I guess it's Apple's issue most likely. Their devices probably don't allow apps to run without some special validation. I'm also guessing game salad would get in trouble or something for adding a "cracked" exporter feature for ad-hoc testing. Stupid Apple and their corporate bullcrap!!

    Thank you all for the clarification.

    This is what I would call a "shady" thread. The simple answer is that you need to purchase an Apple iOS Developer license to test and publish games.

    Game design requires an investment. It certainly requires an investment of time even for someone using the free version of Creator. And beyond that, it requires an investment of money. At the very least, the cost of a Developer license. Beyond that, though, you may need graphic art, music, coding support, tech support, templates, etc. If you're trying to do it on the cheap (aka for free) you may want to think again.
