[英]Distribute Ipad App without app store

原文 2012-06-04 16:59:22 8 2 ios/ ipad/ app-store/ distribution/ provisioning-profile

Supposing the following scenario: Company A asks company B to produce an IPad App for them. 假设以下情形：公司A要求公司B为他们生成IPad应用程序。 Company A only wants to use it for themselves on a very limited amount of IPads (less than 100). A公司只想在非常有限的IPad（少于100个）上使用它。 Company A is not necessarily interested in offering it on the app store. A公司不一定有兴趣在应用程序商店中提供它。

How can company B distribute the app (sell it) to company A? 公司B如何将应用程序（卖给它）分发给公司A？ It could install the App on the iPads via ad hoc provisioning profile, but this is only meant for testing and the app can't be used once the profile expires. 它可以通过ad hoc配置文件在iPad上安装App，但这仅用于测试，一旦配置文件到期，就无法使用该应用程序。 How can B legally install this app on the iPads without the app expiring after one year? 如何在没有应用程序在一年后到期的情况下在iPad上合法安装此应用程序？

When using the app store, is there an option to sell the app only to this company, or to specific users via the app store, when the companies are not located in the US (I heard about B2B distribution which can only be used in the US) 当使用应用程序商店时，是否有选项可以将应用程序仅销售给该公司，或者通过应用程序商店销售给特定用户，当这些公司不在美国时（我听说过只能在我们）

Would the enterprise distribution be the option to choose? 企业分销是否可以选择？ But then company A must have an IOS developer enterprise program ticket, so that it can install the app on its iPads, and not company B, right? 但是，公司A必须拥有IOS开发人员企业计划票，以便它可以在iPad上安装应用程序，而不是公司B，对吗？ Yet company B is the developer here... Or would it be legal, if company B had the IOS developer enterprise program ticket, installed the app on some iPads and sold the iPads to company A? 然而，公司B是这里的开发者...或者它是否合法，如果公司B有IOS开发者企业计划票，在某些iPad上安装了应用程序并将iPad卖给了公司A？

2 个解决方案

在这种情况下，企业分发正是您想要的。

Company A can participate in the enterprise developer program and install proprietary apps on any of their devices freely: A公司可以参与企业开发人员计划并在任何设备上自由安装专有应用程序：

https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/ https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/

Note: I've worked on several proprietary apps that we simply released through the app store at a price that would prevent others from purchasing it. 注意：我已经开发了几个专有应用程序，我们只是通过应用程序商店发布，其价格会阻止其他人购买。 It's the easiest way for the client's employees to get the app on their device and it has resulted in new business for us when others have seen what we've done. 这是客户的员工在他们的设备上获取应用程序的最简单方式，当其他人看到我们已经完成的工作时，它为我们带来了新的业务。
