Is there any way to make personal apps on IOS? (Swift)

[leaden chasm]

Hey guys, I wanted to get into Swift and maybe make some IOS apps that solve my problems without putting them publicly. I was wondering if it is possible, or if anyone has had any luck with this? I saw online there is many options but conflicting info some say yes but you only have for 7 days at a time then some say its 1 year at a time others say you cant at all so im just wondering.

7 days unless you pay for a dev account, then it’s a year

That looks scary af lol setting a custom DNS is holy fuck lol Counted 16 ads on the site, about half were fake "download" button ads

just post ur app to the app store and use it yourself lol thats the same as it being private

yes its "public" but absolutely zero people are going to see a random app on the app store

plus its very easy to get accepted if u just have a bare app, no payments/completely free, no social infrustructure etc

But that’s $100yr

what do u need to build?

i dont understand what the issue is

u want to build an app but NOT put it on the app store?

then do it?

what are u confused about

I’m not OP. The implication from their question (mentioning the dev mode cert time limits) is that they want a free side load solution.

oh mb i didnt notice

but still im conused on what they want

cus to me it sounds like they just want to build something for internal use

there are so many ways to do that
