iPad development without a mac

Question

I am interested in developing an app for my new iPad purely for my own use. (well to start with at least)

• Is there a way to develop an app without a mac?

Answer 1

Is there a way to develop an app without a mac?

Officially, no. Realistically, unless you like wasting countless hours, no.

Can I install the app only on my own iPad without having to sign up to the right to publish it when I might not even want to do that?

No, you must be a paid developer in order to push to anything but the simulator.
