Do I need real iphone to register apple developer?

Or can I just make iOS build and launch on appstore without real iphone?

 

If you drive your car with your eyes closed, then yes, you can submit a totally untested game to the app store. (Just don't expect to get good reviews.)

Seriously, how would you know the game even runs? Or runs at a suitable frame rate? Or the touch handling feels right? At least buy a cheap, old iPod Touch or 3GS, or something, and give it a try.

 

Because I already launched this game on android store, and ran on mac mini iphone simulator.

 

Just go ahead and drive with a blindfold, you're obviously set on it. I don't even see why you bothered posting here about it.

 

You can publish an App without a real device. But personally I would test the App on real device.

 

Then, provision process with real device is not essential?

lol you read my mind

 

You can purchase ipods on ebay for 80 bucks.

To be honest, if you won't invest $80 to test on a device, what kind of respect do you have for your customers? You want to be taken seriously? Then show it in your work ethic.

 

Testing on ipod is nice idea. Is this similar result with test on iphone? I think 4g or 5g ipod, iphone.

 

If you want low end hardware (you do), you'd want the iPod Touch 4th gen. It has the same specifications (essentially) as the iPhone 4, with less RAM.

However, you wouldn't be able to test the 4 inch screen size or iOS 7 unless you get the 5th gen.

You can always find people who do have devices and send them the build via TestFlight to get their feedback.

 

Testflight is a good cheap way you can gather feedback without the device. Certainly, you should do that as a minimum.
