→Registered Apple Developer
Once the registration process is complete, access is provided to developer resources such as online documentation and tutorials. Registered developers are also able to download older versions of the iOS SDK and Xcode development environment.
In order to obtain the latest versions of both the iOS SDK and Xcode, registered developers must either purchase them from the Mac App Store or enroll in the iOS Developer Program. The latest iOS SDK and Xcode package costs $4.99 to purchase from the Mac App Store and may be found at the following location: [http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id422352214?mt=12&ls=1 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id422352214?mt=12&ls=1]
This raises the question of whether to upgrade to the iOS Developer Program, or to remain as a Registered Apple Developer and simply purchase the latest iOS SDK and Xcode package. It is important, therefore, to understand the key benefits of the iOS Developer Program.
