So... developers.... what do you think about the unified Developer program instead of having the one for OSX/Mac and a separate one for iOS?

Sounds like a good thing...

I only focus on iOS, and don't want to develop Mac app. So these isn't benefit for me now. But maybe in the future I can try Mac app.

For example about me:
- I'm working as a freelancer for several years and only develop for iOS.
- all orders, as usual, only for iOS :)
- in free time I make my apps for App Store (again only for iOS) ...

and why should I develop under the OSX? - this is a question...
and if customer say that he need - the $ 99 - not so much money...

But knowing that I could produce for the OSX - make me happy, but nothing else.

Sounds like an interesting idea. I would love to see it as an optional package so we still get to choose iOS only, OSX only or iOS and OSX for a cheaper price!

Love this! I have both iOS and Mac apps so this saves me $99/year.

This is also needed for the struggling Mac App Store. Lowering the barrier to entry into the Mac App Store will hopefully encourage more devs to make great Mac apps.
