Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

Is IOS SDK free?

Can I download and install IOS SDK freely?
I read some document and says like following.
The SDK itself is a free downloaded, but beta SDKs require a paid developer account.

Does this mean that I can download, install SDK and test from iPhone Simulator first? or should I pay $99 first?

    It used to be free, but I think Apple charges $5 for Xcode (with SDK) now. That allows you to test on the simulator. If you are a paid developer ($99) then it's free. Xcode 3 may still be free (not sure), but I wouldn't recommend it.

    You can buy Xcode 4 through the Mac App Store.

    You can build for the simulator for free, but if you want to install on devices, you will need to pay $99 (US per year) to become a fully licensed developer.

    Final release version of iOS SDK can be downloaded with free account if you need access to beta releases, you must have a paid developer account.

    you fully wrong - its free

    baja_yu:
    "I think Apple charges $5 for Xcode (with SDK) now" - its free, just download it from developer.apple.com/downloads

    "if you want to install on devices, you will need to pay $99 (US per year) to become a fully licensed developer" - another wrong answer, i develop and debug my applications on jailbroken device, and all working fine.

    Author, all you need is:
    1) Jailbroken device (if you need to test on device)
    2) Jailcoder for Xcode (just google it)

    True enough. This forum deals almost exclusively with developing for non-jailbroken devices. The rules change if you are dealing with jailbroken phones.

    That won't do you any good if you want to submit to the Apple app store, however.
