Making a mobile application without the iOS SDK

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I am currently in the process of starting development on a mobile application both for Android and for iOS. The problem I'm having right now is that I cannot pay the $99 required for the iOS SDK, but I still want to make the application compatible in the App Store. If I start a project now just for Android, can I still use it for iOS later when I am able to buy the SDK?

Download xCode from the App Store (think its still free). You should be able to build iOS apps that can be tested on the simulator, but you cannot build a package that will install on any un-jailbroken device. There are some provisioning hacks to work around Apple's constraints, but we will not discuss them here.

Yes you can. You will most likely need to make a few adjustments for the iOS platform, but you can add/remove platforms at any time.
