I am newbie to Apple. I have read many articles and stackoverflow threads but I am very confused. I am developing with XCode and MonoTouch(Xamarin). I am doing the development with C Sharp. I have done an application and I want to install that app to my iPad. I am working on MAC by the way.
According to my readings, I need to have a Apple Developer ID, which costs 99 us dollar. Is there another way to deploy without paying?
In order to deploy the App on to your device you need development certificate (could be created using Keychain Access) and development provisioning profile (which could only be created using Apple's Developer Account) . If you want to deploy your app on to device without these file you need to Jail Break your device but keep in mind that your device will be no more in Warrantee after you Jail break it.
Unless you jailbreak your iOS Device you'll need a Developer ID from Apple.

Free provisioning allows Xamarin.iOS developers to deploy and test their apps on iOS devices without being part of the Apple Developer Program. While simulator testing is valuable and convenient.
And you can check the link below to see get more information:

In my opinion, an Apple Account is always required.
You can now test on your device with a free Apple Developer Account. Maybe you can downgrade your existing account, or create a new one.

How beta windows phone 8.1 app. Might sound like a newbie question but bear with me. I have written and app like quite a few others but this is the first app where I want to support wp8.1 and wp10. The app side loaded on to a wp8.1 or wp10 device works fine as expected.
If put into the Windows store as beta with the necessary emails will install on wp10 devices but refuses to install on wp8.1 devices no matter what.
If I put into the store as normal it fails testing with an ungraceful shutdown that I cannot replicate.
I can't install beta to get the crash dumps to find out what's going on. So now am completely stuck.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
If you want to publish a beta version to a specific group of people, then you'll need to select the following option :
Hide this app and make it available only to the people you specify
below, who can download this app on Windows Phone 8.x devices. A
promotional code may be used to download this app on Windows 10
devices.
Only the people whose email addresses (associated with their Microsoft accounts) that you enter in the box can download your app by using the direct link to its listing. If you want W10 beta testers, then you'll need in addition to generate promotional code and send each promoted link to your W10 beta testers. Check this link to learn more about beta publishing on Windows Store.
If you failed to install beta version on WP8.1 devices, I can see two reasons:
Email addresses defined in the publisher portal do not match with the one activated on the WP8.1 devices
You tried to install the WP8.1 app immediately after defining the list of Email addresses in the publisher portal. In fact you'll to wait couple of hours before beta version becomes available on devices
Thanks for your answers. But after a long protracted process I finally got through to Microsoft. (If you do't have paid for MSDN support is damn near impossible to talk to anyone) Turns out there was a problem with my dev account. safe to say the issue is now fixed and apps are downloading/installing again
We will soon have a respectable pool of apps available for our company's employees, we have both flavors: iOs and Android. Those apps have tremendous value for our production and sales teams but are worthless outside the company.
My boss is asking me to develop a server program from which our local mobile users can discover, download and install those apps quick and easy, very much like the App Store and Play Store, but everything inside our local network. I'm not sure if this software is even possible...
Are App Store and Play Store the only possible sources of mobile apps?... If so, which alternatives do I have for this project? If not, please point me in the right direction.

Another alternative is signing and sideloading with using MacBuildServer. See these for more information:

I am a wp8 developer and searching for a way to deploy my app on device "without the cable". I have searched over the web and could find nothing helpful. I know about he "Application Deployment" tool in WP8 SDK and my phone is also Developer Unlocked. I know how to simply deploy an app on windows phone. All i am looking for is to know, Is there any way I can deploy my application to my phone without using the phone cable?
Lets say i dont have my cable with me, what options do I have now?
Currently you can't debug an app on your phone without the USB cable. You can do this when developing for Windows 8.x so perhaps with the coming WP8.1 update we'll get the same feature for the phone..
There is the beta testing you could do for a test deployment through the store but the app will run through the cert. process so this is no option for testing while developing and there is no debugging.
You can only use the cable to deploy to your device. If you dont have a cable with you, just use the emulator.
I'm a bit confused on how continuous integration works with a Windows Phone App. Is there a way to upload the app to the marketplace automatically, or do you still need to do a manual update?
Do I need my own server for this, or are there hosted options?
And which program works best to test, build, and continuously integrate a windows phone 7 app?
Edit: I'm using Atlassian Jira, but Bamboo seemed to only apply to Web apps, not apps that are deployed on devices. I have no requirements, and no experience, and don't understand how CI even works with a non-Web based project. However, I do want our code to be passing all it's tests before it's committed to SVN, and if there is a way to automatically push the latest stable build to our users, in an automated way, that would be great.
Marketplace submission is a manual process and there is currently no way to do this automatically.
There are various continuous integration processes and tools available. Whether you need a separate server to run it on or which program will be "best" for you will depend on your scenario, requirements, experience and preferences.
You can use any solution which supports Visual Studio 2010 as long as you can install the Windows Phone SDK on the same machine. Hosted solutions may or may not allow you to do this.
