Do I have to enroll to learn NetworkExtension APIs?

I'd like to learn NetworkExtension APIs to see if the app I want to develop is even possible.

However, it seems I have to pay $99 just for being able to use the APIs while developing.

I simply want to learn and test the APIs, is there a way to do that without having to pay a hefty fee first?

Thanks in advance.

Ideally both iOS and MacOS, but my primary target is iOS.

For iOS you definitely need a paid developer account. See Developer Account Help > Supported capabilities (iOS) (in this context Apple Developer is equivalent to a Personal Team in Xcode, that is, deploying with an Apple ID that’s not associated with a paid account).

macOS is a more open platform, and so you could probably cobble something together once you’ve disable SIP [1]. However, I don’t think it’s worth heading down that path given that your primary concern is iOS.
