@natevw You can build apps for devices without a paid membership now, with a few restrictions.

@castirony Seen any detailed analysis posts of how the new provisioning works? Seems like this opens alternate distro. /cc @rentzsch @mjtsai
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 10 Jun 2015

@natevw Presumably you can only sign the binary for a very limited number of devices.
Nathan Vander Wilt ‏@natevw 10 Jun 2015

@mjtsai Right, but what's keeping someone from writing an @appbodega-for-iOS that downloads $whatever, then signs/loads it via users' Xcode?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 10 Jun 2015

@natevw Probably nothing. Though there are already 300+K registered developers who could have been doing that for the last few years.
Nathan Vander Wilt ‏@natevw 10 Jun 2015

@mjtsai Right, but there was that additional $99/yr friction. Now for any user brave/bored enough to handle inevitable provisioning snafus…!
