Our company has created an application for ios on the order of another company. We poured into the apstor, but it was rejected because it was narrowly targeted (this is an application for a warehouse where the loader scans the goods and stuffs them into the base). The support recommended b2b option. But here a lot of questions arose. If I correctly understood the most convenient enterprise license. But the question is who should get it the developer or the customer? And the ad hoc option, as I understand it, is suitable for a developer license, but here it is even more incomprehensible. You must first know all the apple id of those who will use the application and make them in advance when creating a provisioning profile - and then (although maybe I misunderstood) you cannot change them. Plus a limit of 100 devices. I also read somewhere that there is a way to compile ipa and plist and put it on the server, and then generate a link. But then in general, I am not sure that it will work.

You can recommend the best way to transfer the developed application to the customer so that its employees can easily install it.

  • ipa and plist your right decision, butting with Yablochnik is an unnecessary and ungrateful business, as well as compliance with their requirements and licenses .. :) - NewView
  • I did not think that Ebola to the extent of d ****. seriously. I do not understand. and that the application is narrowly focused. Do they feel sorry for the place or what? How many applications that do something one and nothing. Ebola fell even more in my eyes. PS redo under android and there will be no such problems at all) - Tsyklop

  1. Here is what you need:

Distribute Apps in Volume

Allows you to legally and without problem to install software for other organizations .

  1. Alternative - Apple Developer Enterprise Program - Apple Developer

It is better to buy the program on behalf of the customer, otherwise in the future there may be problems with adding users (especially if you finish working together).

Here are articles about practical experience, albeit a bit outdated, but they can come in handy:

Create your AppStore for distribution by iOS Enterprise Distribution

How to distribute iOS applications bypassing the AppStore

  • And can you learn more about Distribute Apps in Volume? Does this need a separate account? It's not free? And how the application is compiled - what provisioning profile, the ipa file is created? - cheerful_weasel
  • @cheerful_weasel It is paid, but it seems to be inexpensive. I could not find the actual price (most likely, during registration, you must specify the type of account). The application compiles and loads into itconconnect as usual, but does not require Apple approval. I also found an old Apple presentation (they have not updated it since then): download.developer.apple.com/wwdc_2012/wwdc_2012_session_pdfs/… - Ivan Kramarchuk
