Is it possible to develop apps for iOS with iPod?

I develop games for Android, but now I want to try the iOS platform. Actually, I have Mac Mini, but I haven't enought money to buy iPhone, so I think about buying iPod Touch instead. Is it possible to develop games (Unity engine) using iPod? What about games performance? Sorry if I ask something stupid, I never developed for iOS b开发者_运维知识库efore, thanks!

We use an iTouch for development (cheaper than buying iPad2's). So yes, you can definitely develop for iOS using an iTouch/iPod.

You will also need to join the Apple developer program before you can deploy to the iTouch - Apple has a $99 annual fee for an individual. Even if you purchase Unity you will need buy into the Apple dev program too.

same code will work in iphone,ipad ,ipod .so no problem.so that the name of IDE is xcode.but performance and image accuracy will be varied.

Apple provides a SDK including a simulator. Never trust the simulator completely, but you can use it easily for day by day job, and test it on a real iphone, ipod touch or similar only from time to time.
