Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am just asking this because if I am stuck on a 2 year contract, and I wanted an iPhone 7 when it was released, but I don't have enough money to pay the contract ditch, will I need the latest phone to develop an app? If I don't have a phone, or any iOS device, will my app fail? I am making apps like camera apps, even some social apps, and a lot of things, if I publish Hello World, will my app be rejected?
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2.1, White Gold
You don't really need to own an iOS device to develop Apps.
XCode comes with a built in device emulator to test your Apps.
It's recommended to test your Apps on actual devices, but it's not a requirement for building one.
Wait, so if I make an iPhone app, should I use iPod touch, what if I only have a a Mac and iPad?
I wanna try out night shift on my iPhone, so on my daily device because I only have one, on my YouTube channel I used iOS 9.3. Should I wait for 1 more week?
As I said, what isn't so common is to recommend putting a beta iOS on your daily device due to the typical risks involved with betas in general. It's up to you if you want to take that risk.
>so if I make an iPhone app, should I use iPod touch, what if I only have a a Mac and iPad?
A touch won't have telephone capability, so what you can test depends on what your app does.
If you only have a mac and iPad, there is no way to thoroughly test iphone-specific code.
Don't forget you can use TestFlight.
And finally, not that many devs have multiple devices, depending on their testing demands.
Hello K T,
I see Apple's little scheme to wrangle you back into the forums was successful. You might have missed this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7475992
Can you link or list me all of the things that is required to publish my app to the App Store. Everything besides a Mac because you definitely need it to start learning Objective C or Swift. And if you want to make your app popular, do we need our social networks and YouTube to be popular too?
Can you please answer my last question?
I think if you are incapable of finding public links on your own you are totally incapable of developing an app or anything else.
Some people banned me from posting an app review on YouTube, and instead on TV. I am also not a popular YouTube fan, with less than 100 subs, and my app is usually ranked low.
Learn how to build really good apps before you start worrying about how to make them popular.

I tried to, but I am gonna make my best.
Do we need the latest iPhone to develop apps
