I am iOS developer.Now, I develop iPad an iPhone apps for my company. I have an iPad and now I have decided to buy my own Mac ;). I would like to develop applications to then upload to the AppStore.
Also I am interesed to jailbreak my device but before that I would like to know if this affect to the original development. If I could have problems to test original apps with orginal provisioning in my jailbroken iPad.
Thanks a lot ;)
I have a jailbroken iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 and I haven't had any difficulty provisioning it and testing my apps on it.
No, it will not affect your testing ability.

I developed an app that only runs on iPhone (iPad compatibility not required yet by me). After I publish it to the app store, the apple rejects the app as they test it on iPad and as I mention that it is only iPhone app, therefore, it looks ugly on iPad.
How could I submit it to app store by force apply the setting that it is an iPhone app only, not iPad?
This creates really much issue as I worked a lot and seeing this rejection made my heartbreak.
Apple have stated in their app-store guide lines that iPhone apps should run on iPad. Unless there is some really special need otherwise, which you must be able reason with them.
Check here: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
In addition to that it is really easy to make iPhone application compatible in most of the cases, just try and run it once on iPad device( or simulator), and you might find the crash and be able to fix that easy.
I'm a beginner programmer and I have a universal application that works perfectly on iPhone and iPad with IOS 6.0 and up. However, it has certain features which cannot run on an iPad 1 because this device can only upgrade up to IOS 5.1.1. Whenever I run on an iPad 5.1 simulator, the application crashes. This is not the problem since I already expect it to do that.
Will Apple reject my application since it does not run on the iPad 1? Are there other iPad applications that leave out iPad 1's?
Of course not! Obviously, Apple thinks iPad 1 owners should just buy new iPads. :)
BTW, you should check out Apple's page on the approval process
, especially their approval guidelines for information on what they are looking for in an app submission.
No, they will not. So long as your app is supported on the latest iOS version, they will not reject your app for not supporting older devices. If your app has additional hardware requirements that the latest OS does not, be sure to clearly specify this in your app description.
When I was signing up for development program, then in the agreement, I saw a clause which basically stated that if a pre-release software is installed on any device, then that device will be put in test mode. So, what exactly is the limitation of a test mode as compared to a device which is in "normal" mode? Also, if I install iOS7 in a device (after iOS 7 has been released), then will the device be considered to be in a test mode if I test my application on it ?
Moreover, if I submit an application which runs on iOS 6 after iOS 7 has been launched, then can that be considered grounds for app rejection ? I will develop app for iOS 7 also. However, that will take some time.
Thanks
As far as I know, there is no limitation in "test mode".
If your application is developed for iOS 6, then it should still work on iOS 7 as well, but with the iOS 6 look & feel. However, it is always best to test it on a real device with iOS 7, of course.
There's no practical difference once you start using a device for development. I use my personal iPhone for most of my testing; it has no effect whatsoever on the utility of the phone.
On your second question: your app will NOT be rejected simply for supporting iOS 6, or any older version of iOS. Apple wants you to write apps that support iOS 7, of course, but they absolutely will not reject an app for supporting older versions; that would be crazy.
If your app actually failed to work on iOS 7 (once it's released), then obviously that would be a different matter.
The tittle says pretty much everything, I just bought an iPad 2 that comes with the 6.1.3 iOS and I've just read that there is no jailbreak method right now.. so, is there a way to deploy apps made in Air just for tests purposes only into the device?, or do I need a developer id to do so?.
(I'm not planning to sell the app in the app store, I just want to test it for practicing purposes only)
How do I run my XCode project on my iPod touch?
I am a developer, my iPod runs iOS 5.0.1, but I can not figure out how to do this.
You need an iOS Developer License (99$/year) and then, you need to follow these steps
1) Deploying iphone apps real devices
OR
2) Testing Apps on the Devices
Now, you can test apps on real device without enrolling into Apple's $99 developer program. You only need to have free apple ID. Refer Apple Docs - Free On-Device Development.
