This question relates to the Apple iOS Developer Enterprise Program
I am trying to determine the limits and relationships between the following 4 entities: Apple Enterprise Program distribution licenses, DUNS numbers, distribution certificates, and apps.
Here's the scenario: a client wants to develop iPad apps for in-house distribution. This client does not want to go begging to another department head every time he wants to update or release an app, so he wants control of the distribution preocess. Is it possible for him to have his "own" department-level enterprise license or can he have a separate enterprise distribution certificate under the (presumably single) enterprise license? Further, is there any limit to the number of apps that can be distributed in-house under a)an enterprise license, or b)a distribution certificate.
So this boils down to:
Edit: you can skip the dialogue below; just go straight to the answer
It allows you to use Apple Business Manager, Ad Hoc distribution, or redemption codes to privately distribute custom apps to employees, and TestFlight to test beta versions of your apps. The Apple Developer Enterprise Program is only for specific use cases that cannot be addressed using these methods.
If your learning app will be made available to the general public, the iOS Developer Program is required. If your learning app is strictly for your employees, the iOS Developer Enterprise Program is required. Once you have registered for the relevant program, you can use it for as many learning apps as required.
Go into the app developer portal and click on "Program & Add-Ons" and in "Program Summary" it should state if you have enterprise or just apple developer program (apple enterprise should say: "Apple Developer Enterprise Program"). It says, Account Type: Company/Organization.
I posed these questions to Apple developer relations
Can an enterprise have more than one enterprise license? For example, could 2 departments each have their own enterprise license?
Can a single enterprise license have more than one distribution certificate?
Can a single enterprise distribution certificate apply to more than one app?
I got this response
- A single organization can enroll in up to five iOS Developer Enterprise Programs.
- Multiple Enterprise distribution provisioning profiles can be created.
- Each Enterprise distribution provisioning profile can only be associated with one App ID.*
Edit: and this response...
- Two enterprise distribution certificate can be created at a time.
- A single enterprise distribution certificate can apply to multiple apps.
and then this response:
Each iOS Developer Enterprise license is completely separate with different distribution certificates. If a company enrolls in five enterprise programs, they will be able to create five different distribution certificates.
