I don't propose that you do. But if you insist, then you pay $100 per
year to keep your developer account with Apple active. What do you
need to do that you think needs native development? No calculator
does. Not even a graphing calculator. Unless you are doing games,
processing audio or video data, or working with the filesystem... I
don't think you need it.
