Instead of buying technical support for $195 from ADC, can anyone recommend another way to buy tech support for iphone development troubleshooting?
You could hire an independent iPhone developer to assist you with your problem. They will likely charge hourly (they can charge in the neighborhood of $125 to $200 per hour) and you'll have to do your homework to make sure they're up to snuff.
Alternatively you can just ask your questions here! We'll help for free!
You can hire an iPhone developer on oDesk.com for around $25/hour. You can upload your project to the free/secure SVN hosting, and allow a provider to look at it / debug it. Communication can be a bit difficult at times, and time zones and deadlines often means this won't be the fastest way to get a bug fixed.
Another idea is to see if there's a meeting group in your area. You can have a hack-a-thon where people meet up and help each other with their code.
