no. you can run apps in the simulator without a developer account. You do however, need a developer account to run apps on a device. What problems are you having?

I'm trying to start the blog reader app class and after choosing the master template application in Xcode and naming it I get a message that says no matching code signing identity found. When I click the fix issue button i get a drop down that says "to resolve code signing issues you need to add and Apple ID account that is enrolled in a developer program."
Thanks for your quick answer and sorry it took me so long to reply.
