> Developing for iOS devices is $99 a year (plus store commission) for literally anyone.

Don't forget having to buy a MacOS device in this equation.



Yeah that's pretty prohibitive for most people who couldn't spare $450 for a switch dev kit


Develop on a Hackintosh (either bare metal or VM, there's more than enough guides for both), build using Github Actions, and that's it. If you want to stay fully legit, rent a Mac instance from AWS or the myriad "Mac-as-a-Service" companies and be done with it.


I bought an XBox, too.
