According to the apple website iOS 4 should support wireless app distribution. I have been unable to find any documentation at all on how to host your applications for users to download them over wifi/3g.
We are currently enrolled in the standard iPhone dev program, as we don't have over 500 employees. Is this limited feature limited to the enterprise program only?

You can distribute your Enterprise app without MDM. The way it works is basically you upload the . ipa file and a manifest . plist file to a website somewhere.
Apple offer two solutions for this: Apple Developer Enterprise Program, This allows you to distribute your app as a URL via your internal site or web server. Volume Purchase Program for enterprises, This allows you to distribute apps via a URL to managed devices within your organisation.
In Xcode go to Preferences > Accounts > Your Account > View Details > Refresh. 3. In Xcode go to your Project > Targets > Your target > Code Signing > Select the correct Provisioning Profile for ADHOC Distribution for your build schema. 4.
From My Apps, select the app you want to distribute privately. This will show you the app's page on App Store Connect. In the sidebar to the left, click on Pricing and Availability. Navigate to App Distribution Methods and select Private — Available as a custom app on Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager.
If you don't have an entreprise account. You won't have the unlimited or very large pool of devices you can add to your account distribution profiles. BUT, even with normal accounts you can definitely create an Ad Hoc distribution profile (limited to 100 devices) and use the Xcode 3.2.3 "Build and archive" + "Share app / Distribute for entreprise" feature. This will create a .IPA app bundle that already contains the distribution profile. All you need to do is create a web page on some server containing a link with some special scheme.
For instance: <a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://www.myserver.com/ota/myapp/appname.plist">Install My App over the air</a>
