Howdy my Apple-y compatriots! I'm normally a Windows/Android user, but I have a friend who I'd like to write a simple application for and AppGameKit seems like the simplest way for me to code something that can be run by OSX/iOS. I looked at the iOS side first, since this is a ridiculously simple application, but it looks like I would need
at a minimum to purchase a Developer's certificate, even if my friend is the only one that will use this app. Is this correct?
If so, do I need any kind of Developer's certificate to make something that will run on a Mac with AppGameKit? I gather from the documentation that I would need to have a Mac to compile the code on, which I could probably do. I just want to make sure that once it's compiled there's nothing special I have to do other than give my friend a zip file or executable for them to run it. Is this true?
Much appreciated for any information you can provide! Be sure to use your best "this guy is stupid" voice, because I am a total Apple neophyte. Thanks!
*Edit*: Please take no implications from my use of the word "Normal" in my title. I meant "One who uses Windows normally", not that Windows is by any means the "Normal" OS and Mac is the oddball.
