Even the development of the simplest app, to be used as a temporary tool by a couple of friends will be blighted by warnings, etc. if you don't pay $100 per year and jump through the hoops! Apple are deliberately making life more difficult and charging us $100 a year for the privilege!
Apple now offers a free developer account for personal apps that aren't
for sale.

For testing on your own phone you don't need any of that. Just cable the
phone to the computer (or use the simulator) and you're good to go.
