develop iphone app with phonegap and phonegap build for free

Question

I have just started to learn phonegap in order to develop iphone application and publish it on the appstore but the first problem I encountered after I followed those commands :

phonegap create my-app
cd my-app
phonegap run ios

is : I must provide a signing key

and after some researchs I found out that it costs 99 per year

isn't it any free way to develop iphone app ?

thank you

No, if you want your app to be available in the App Store you will have to buy an iOS developers Account.
