I just want to know whether it is possible to not be an apple developer(i.e. the one in which you pay $99 a year) and yet make apps only for your iPhone. I mean to tell that I want to develop apps but not release them in the appstore. Rather I just want to use it in my iPhone. If its possible can you tell me how do I transfer it to my iPhone?
No. It is not possible. You can develop iPhone app using Xcode and can test it in the simulator but even if you need to test your app on iPhone, You will need the provision profile that is available through your apple developer id and for the same you need to pay $99.
It might be possible with a jailbroken device, to achieve what you want. Other than that, just check #Sarah answer.

I was having an issue with 'Archiving' my Xcode because my iOS device wasn't functioning.
A colleague has offered to provide his UDID / serial for his iOS device to allow me to archive my project.
Is this safe?
Does this compromise my account safety?
Does it give any of my information over to him?
You do not need a device to archive an app. Choose "Gereric iOS Device" from the device dropdown list:
The only thing this allows is the ability to install the app onto his device. Once the app is on his device, if he has the skill, he can extract any license keys and even reverse engineer portions of your app.
That said, these are all things that any user who has your app can do if you haven't guarded against such abuse.
I am working on a simple iPhone app for a not-for-profit organization that I do some work for. I've done extensive testing on the various emulators, and I think that the app is ready to go. I was reading about the process to get an app on the App Store and part of the process seems to indicate that I need to register an iOS device in Xcode as part of the process. I do not own an iPhone, and my only iOS device is an iPad Air 2. This is not a universal app.
Is it even possible for me to put the app on the App Store? I'm just checking because I want to be certain that I can accomplish my goal, before shelling out the $99 for a developer membership.
Yes, it is possible. You need purchase Apple Developer Account and it is enough.
But it is better to test on real device before release, because sometimes you can get some errors on device only.
You can publish app without having iPhone But You need to Developer membership for publish this ...
Read for more information How To Submit an iOS App to the App Store
You can publish your app without any devices but you need to make sure that you have Apple Developer Account activated. You will have to make certificate and provisioning profiles for AppStore to submit the app or you can also let Xcode handle them for you.
I would like to recommend you to test the app on real device before submitting it. You can test it on iPad as well, only there will be problem of resolution, but the app will work.
yes its possible as #Jogendra is right you need to buy apple developer account for it then later on you can also update your app too.
As being first app, When is right time to buy APPLE's Student Program for Developer's Account so as to put app in iphone for debugging and testing purposes?
or is there any way to put apps in iphone without having dev acc. ? AND can we use same dev accounts on two MACs because app being developed on two different macs?
The right time to buy a developer's account is when you want to actually test the application on a iOS device rather than just the simulator since the simulator is not as reliant. And there is no way to put an iOS app on an apple device without having a developer's account. And yes, you can use the same developer's account on multiple macs.
I'm new to iOS development and to owning an iPad; I have an app which is running on the simulator and now I want to test it on my own iPad.
My iPad is registered with my personal AppleID but I want to enroll in the iOS developer program with a separate business AppleID. Will this be a problem when I plug the iPad into my MacBook and want to test the app?
No. No problem at all doing that.
I agree with #mattigalloway answer but I will add some more informations here.
You may have to change your Apple ID from your iPad by going to settings->App Store
only if you want to test in-app purchase. By sing-out from and resign in with in-app purchase test user.
I hope that make it more clear for you.
Here I am going to ask a non usual question.
I have created one application in iphone. But I do use some things/ codes that are not allowed by apple and hence it has been rejected. I can't say the things that I used.
It's a free application, but I want to distribute the same to many people using my website.
My question is Is it possible to create such kind of application and distribute without submitting the application to apple store??
using our Distribution profile OR using our provision profile for some personal use.
Thanks in advance
No. You can't. Because for using ADHOC distribution, you will need to generate CUSTOM BUILD with provisioning profiles for each device it will run on. Hence, it won't scale since you won't be able to generate a new build/release everytime a new user wants to download your app.
You could distribute it through CYDIA, but only jailbroken iPhones will be able to run your app.
Sorry to bring you the bad news, but the answer is no.
AdHoc would not be an option for you as you're limitted to 100 devices and you need to know the UDID of every device the app should be installed on.
All other things require a jailbroken phone on the user side.
