Does it cost to have a iphone developer account?

I registered because my iphone locked me out because I have the ios 7 beta version. Does it cost money to have the account or just when you enroll for stuff? I'm scared I'm gonna have to pay 99 dollars.wouldn't have told me it was going to have to pay? Also is there any way to get back into my phone?

The answer to the question is yes. To learn about this, go to developer.apple.com and just browse around. Legally, you can only get iOS 7 by registering your UDID. This is a specific code that is given to every device. It does cost money to register this UDID. Some sites let you do it for 8-16 bucks, but Apple requires $99 for you to be a part of their Developer Program. If you are locked out of your phone on iOS 7, do a force restore on the thing. You can look that up on YouTube if you need information on that. Unfortunately, this will wipe everything off your iDevice, but you will be able to get back in. Illegally, you can download iOS 7, exploit a security flaw, and get iOS 7.

It costs money (of course), but you can restore your iPhone back to a previous iOS, I believe. IMO, iOS 7 beta isn't worth the hassle, and you probably have to delete your data and shift-restore your phone back to 6.

If you don't want to pay for a full $99 developer account, you can buy a registration for just one device through a site like http://www.udid.in/.It's $5, and then you'll be able to activate the beta without any problems.

  • Registering an Apple Developer account for iOS7? I want to install iOS 7 Beta 2 on my iPhone to try out, however I do not trust these £5 UDID registration sites or "free" download methods, so the only option left would be to register officially with Apple as a Developer to ensure security. The £60 price tag for a new OS may seem irrational… But I just can't stand the 6 year out of date iOS6! I'm not sure of the process, however. Upon registering, will iTunes show an automatic update to iOS 7 when I connect my device?

  • I downloaded ios 7 and would like to remove it, but I need a developer account? About 2 weeks ago, I found a youtube video that showed me how to install ios 7 for my iPhone 5 without a developer account. I regret doing so and would like to remove it, but iTunes will not let me connect my iPhone without a developer account. Is there a way I can get around this?
