我应该如何将ios应用程序安装到公司的设备上？

Question

I want to write app for company where i'm working. It will work only with internal resources and only via authentication. How should staff install this app, when it will be done ? How usually people do that(for example ios soft for restaurants) ? I mean that should they use jailbreak for installing it ? I think that apple won't add my app to repository because it won't have possibility to check it.

Answer 1

There are basically two different official iPhone application distribution methods that I am aware of:

- Ad hoc

You can distribute applications using ad hoc without going through the app store, but you are limited to a maximum of 100 devices. With this method you can distribute you application from a web site, email, etc. You can upload the app by adding all the devices UDID you want to share the app on provision profile, then generate a link on testflightapp.com/

- Enterprise

The method is for internal distribution in companies with more than 500 employees. Apple does not provide any more public detail that I could find on this method.
