Private iOS Apps for small businesses [closed]

Tags:

ios

I need some clarifications.

I would like to develop apps for local businesses. A great example is a POS system for small stores that can be run on an iPad. I want it to be private and does not need to be on the appstore.

Is this possible for an enterprise program($299)?

If yes, can I develop another app for another purpose(on the same program), like a private appointment app?

Can you have a private iOS app?

Unlike public iOS apps, private apps are automatically set as managed and are removed when a user deletes their management configuration from their device. Users get these private iOS apps through the Google Device Policy app version 3.14 or later on their iPhones and iPads.

How do I distribute iOS apps without App Store?

Ad-Hoc Deployment Using the Apple Developer Program For private beta testing or temporary distribution, Apple allows developers to use the Ad-hoc app deployment method. In this scenario, the developer will deliver the app binary to each unique user via a download URL or email.

Can you make private apps on the App Store?

You can publish private apps to the Play store from the Google Admin console or the Google Play Console. After you add a private app to the apps list, users can download it from the managed Play Store on their Android device. It can take a few hours for the app to be available to users.

There are two correct approaches to accomplish your objectives.

  1. Your Client can enroll in the Enterprise Development program and you would use their credentials to distribute the application.

  2. You can enroll in the Standard Developer program and distribute the app to your customers via iTunes B2B Volume Purchase Program. https://developer.apple.com/programs/volume/b2b/

Note: You should not distribute production versions of apps to clients using an ad-hoc distribution from your account.
