They have also merged both iOS and OS X developer programs under the same roof. 99$/y gives you access to both now.

Does this mean you now need to pay $99/y to develop OSX apps?

Only if you want to distribute apps in the Mac App Store. Same as it was yesterday.

No. Just for access to the Mac App Store, and pre-release tools and OS versions.

What? It means that anyone can download XCode, any app from github and run it on their devices? That's very nice.

> Program membership is not required.

Though note that there's a current bug listed that looks like accounts with expired developer memberships currently can't use free provisioning.

(For me, this is mildly irritating, because I let my membership lapse a few days ago on a hunch that they'd combine the developer programmes. And then they did, but I can't use the free provisioning, and the re-enrolment form doesn't seem to be working right now either.)

Really nice to see this though.

wonder will the same work for Mono Develop? Build on Windows or Mac with VS or Mono Develop and deploy to an iPhone with a Mac...
