Summary

An Apple ID is used to purchase and download software from the App Store. It also can be used for iTunes.

 

At IGPP, the most common use of an Apple ID is to install Xcode. Xcode is free; therefore it’s not necessary to tie your credit card to your Apple ID to obtain Xcode. This type of account is preferred if your only reason for having an Apple ID is to install Xcode.

 

By installing Xcode with your Apple ID, you can continue to install Xcode updates using your Apple ID credentials.

NOTE: you must select a free app (such as Xcode) before registering for the new account in order for the “none” option to appear as the payment type.
