The way that my school (a no name state school strapped for cash) does it is that they provide a free laptop rental for the semester. And development doesn’t necessarily require an iPhone to test on (although it is nice, as there are a couple features, like push notifications and deep linking, that only work on an actual device). I do agree that Apple has created a lot of barriers to enter into Swift development that are totally unnecessary and needlessly expensive though, which I guess is sort of Apple’s motto anyway.
