Once I've built my app and its on the app store, do I need to continue paying for the service to keep it there or I would only need to start paying again if it needed to be rebuilt?

@leo,
Since this is your first post, please answer the following question.
- Is this your first hybrid App?
- Are you using the Phonegap Desktop App?
- Are you using CLI, SDK or Build? Please do not assume the answer, please read the link.

Thanks
Jesse

You don't have to pay and keep your account alive as long as you don't need PGB.
However, if your app requires a paid account and suddenly, urgently needs to be updated, you're in trouble if you need to renew, first.

@Leo,
you don't need a paid account to create apps. The service is free. Pay if you want. Adobe/Phonegap don't run a charity, so paid as you feel.

Also, it is good to know that you cannot create an app for the App Store with Phonegap Desktop App.

Best of Luck
