Intranet for mobile application

Question

I have been given the task to create an intranet application for my company that needs to be able to run on iPhone and Android. The current intranet that are running on the web have 1500 users, now not all of these will be downloading the application, but I am counting on this number just to be on the safe side.

I have already asked about creating a website that fits a mobile screen and so on and these ideas have all been rejected. I have done some research trying to figure out how to do this the best way and I have a few question to you guys.

I have already cleared it with my boss that the iPhone application will use the enterprise license ( https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/ )

Will this license make it possible for us to select who can download the application on the app store?

Is there a similar license that I need to buy for Android?

Do you guys in general have any advice on creating such applications?

Thank you for you time.

Answer 1

尽管您可以指定应下载应用程序和不下载应用程序的区域，但您无法规定谁可以从iPhone的appstore下载应用程序。

Answer 2

Google is rolling out an enterprise area of Google Play to allow for exact this scenario, but of course that relies on the company be using Google Enterprise services http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/12/04/google-play-comes-to-google-apps-letting-enterprise-customers-distribute-apps-internally/

Appart from that, remember that Android devices can install apps from anywhere, no need to be unlocked, rooted, jailbroken or anything like this.

You can just make the app available on the intranet website and make an API for update cheking,
