Perfect Timing
I’ve just started working on a Mac application as well as an iPhone app. This couldn’t have happened at a better time for me.
If you’ve been interested in becoming an official Mac developer but shied away from high membership fees, this might just be your lucky day.
On Thursday, Apple sharply cut the cost of its Mac Developer Program, dropping the price to just $99 a year. Previously, the only way into the program was by buying Apple Developer Connection Select or Premier memberships ($499 and $3499 respectively). Why the drop in cost? According to Apple, it’s in response to the success of the iPhone Developer Program ($99/year to join) and the potential crossover for those apps into the world of the Mac.
