Publishing corporate app in App Store

Question

I am developing corporate mobile app and I want to publish it in App Store - so that all employees that work in specific company can download this it.

As this app is for corporate use - only people that have an account granted by HR manager will be able to login and use this app. There will be no option to register from app.

I know that there is Enterprise Program from Apple but I want to know -

1) Is it possible to publish this kind of app to the App Store as a regular member of Apple Developer Program?

2) Are there any restrictions that I should to take in consideration?

Answer 1

According to Apple's App Store guidelines , it is not permitted to publish an app which only selected people can use.

Your only choices are TestFlight , the Apple Enterprise Program and the Apple B2B Program .

Answer 2

No your app will only be available as private distribution as b2b app. There is no restriction as I know. I have one app that work similarly as other app but the only difference is that it is not available in AppStore.

Answer 3

No difference as per feature level.

Its licenses is costly but you will receive code level technical support.
