Publishing for Apple AppStore

iOS Developer Program

To publish your game or app, you have to puchase iOS Developer Program. It cost $99 per year for a developer seat.

Moscrif allows you to develop a game or an app on Windows or Mac. You can develop your game completely on Windows, but in order to submit an app or a game to AppStore or your iDevice, you have to use a Mac with Xcode installed. You don't need to use Xcode directly, nor learn Objecitve-C, just Xcode part called Organizer is required. It would be great to take a cup of coffee and read the following Apple's articles:
