Since Xcode7 it is possible to develop iOS apps and debug them on device without signing up and paying for the iOS developer program. The process still involves creating a code signing certificate and a provisioning profile and an Apple ID is required:
Open Xcode 7, open Xcode->Preferences->Account, click the + button in the bottom left corner , choose Add Apple ID... and login using your Apple Account. This Apple ID must not be connected to a developer program (not even the Mac Developer program!).
Create a new iOS project using any iOS app template. The Bundle Identifier MUST match the ID of your RoboVM app.
Click Fix Issue on the General tab to create a signing identity and a provisioning profile.
Connect your iOS device, select it as the build destination and click the Play button to make sure the app can be launched on the device.
Steps 2-4 must be repeated for each new RoboVM app you build.
