"Untrusted App Developer" message when installing enterprise iOS Application

I'm developing an enterprise application. When I was testing it in iOS8 beta I saw the following alert view:

Untrusted App Developer Do you trust the developer "iPhone Distribution: ---" to run apps on you iPad? 

It only appears the first time. Can I avoid it somehow? And what is it related to?

How do I trust an enterprise developer in IOS 15?

Tap the name of the developer profile under the “Enterprise App” heading to establish trust for this developer. Tap on “Trust (Developer Name)”. You'll then you see a prompt to confirm your choice. After you trust this profile, you can manually install other apps from the same developer and open them immediately.

Today, I was testing this with iOS 9 Beta and found the solution.

To solve it, go to:

  1. Settings -> General -> Profiles [Device Management on iOS 10]
  2. Under ENTERPRISE APP, choose your current developer account name.
  3. Tap Trust "Your developer account name"
  4. Tap "Trust" in pop up.
  5. Done

You cannot avoid this unless you distribute an application via the App Store.

You get this message because the application is signed via an enterprise certificate that has not yet been trusted by the user. Apple force this prompt to appear because the application that is being installed hasn't gone through the App Store review process so is technically untrusted.

Once the user has accepted the prompt, the certificate will be marked as trusted and the application can be installed (along with any other future applications that you wish to install that have been signed with the same certificate)

Note: As pointed out in the comments, as of iOS 8, uninstalling all applications from a specific certificate will cause the prompt to be shown again once an application from said certificate is re-installed.

Here is the link to Apple website that confirms this info: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204460
