I was just wondering how much does it cost to put an app in the app store ? What percentage off the selling price of your app goes to you and what percentage goes to apple? What do you need to make an app (I'm assuming a Mac and do you have to pay for the apple interface)?

I heard it's around $100 per year, but I could be wrong

Indeed, that is the cost of an apple developer's license, which allows you to put your work on the market.

Is that all? What's the % of sales you pay apple? What if the app is free?

Apple takes 30%, in any case.
What if you put the app as free with no in app purchase?

30% of 0 is 0 btw, so it hardly matters if its all free :]

Ahem, I need to call 2 lies on that: not all free apps have advertising in them, and what Apple does is getting their part of voluntary agreement, not steal.

The cost of your Mac of choice. You can download it for free, but only on macs.
