Gamesalad Pro or Apple Developer?

Hello again Folks of Gamesalad,

I wish to get my game to the App Store and am considering purchasing either the Game Salad Pro Member License ($299) or purchasing the Apple Developer Certificate ($99)

At this link:
http://gamesalad.com/creator/pricing
it discusses the specific benefits of the Basic Gamesalad Basic vs. Gamesalad Pro but does not compare Apple Developer.


My Questions are:
1. I was wondering if there was page similar to this that compares Gamesalad Pro to the Apple Developer.

2. Out side of the advantages like Android publishing and Twitter Sheets, are there major differences between the two approaches to getting my App for sale at the App store?

3. Lastly, I am not a programmer by a long shot and so if you think Gamesalad's pro version is more easier for a novice to use please also comment.

Thank you all again so much,

Alef.

    Hello,

    So first off, you need to pay the $99 Apple Developer fee to be able to submit apps to the AppStore. You can't just submit them through GameSalad Pro without an Apple Developer account. So I would buy that first, get to know GameSalad and save up some money, then buy GS Pro later.

    Cheers

    Apple Developer means you can publish your game to Apple. You have to have that to publish to Apple.

    Pro is definitely worth the money - even if it was just for In-App Purchases and or android publishing.

    Android is better than Apple by far in my experience.

    If you get Pro, you'll have more behaviors to work with - which means more learning. But it's worth it. I already have tutorials for iAds up on GSHelper.com. I'll be putting up a detailed In-App Purchase series sometime this month.


    Hope this helps.
