I've worked with iOS, but never with any external hardware to connect to the device.

I'm wondering if I need to purchase an MFi license to begin working with hardware and iOS. However after going through some of Apple's documentation I'm not sure if I do for testing purposes.

If you want to deploy to a device you will need a paid apple account. Without you are restricted to just using the simulators.

  • The OP is asking about hardware development, not just normal apps. – Linuxios Feb 18 '14 at 22:00
  • I know that, but if i want to connect hardware to the device i deploy on will I need an MFi license? – Mr.P Feb 18 '14 at 22:02
  • Well, might be better to put "developing for hardware running iOS" instead of "working with hardware and iOS" in the question. Sorry - I don't know. Maybe someone else can help. – GuybrushThreepwood Feb 19 '14 at 08:57
