Adobe Flash CS5 and iPod Touch/iPhone

Question

As you may all know (if not, click here), Apple has finally decided to allow apps created using Adobe Flash CS5's iPod Packager on the store. Owning a PC and not a Mac, this is great news for me as I longed to give a crack to iPod development.

I did try to use a fake certificate (yes I admit it) to publish an app and test it on my brother's iPod Touch (running on iOS 4.0), but the app wouldn't install. Is it because the iPod detected the certificate, or does he need to update his device?

My real question, however, is if it's worth paying 99$ for a developper certificate or not now? I was leaning towards the idea but the restriction has just been relieved (if you'll allow me the expression).

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think, yes. It is still worth paying the amount...

Answer 2

There is a way to do this, not 100% but worth a go... http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-use-Adobes-iPhone-Packager-without-an-Appl/
