Deploy ipad app for limited devices

Question

I have developed an iPad application for particular company's staff. How should i deploy it so that only the company staff can download this application. If i use developer's profile, they will have to refresh the profile every 3 months. So what is the other way?

Note: I have the device id of all the devices.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your option is to get Enterprise developer certification from Apple

Answer 2

You need to create an AdHoc build with a Distribution Certificate with all devices added to that certificate. you can find adhoc build in Xcode organizer

Here select Save for Enterprise or Ad-Hoc Deployment

Answer 3

if you are using an enterprise account you can allocate specific devices,

if you dont have the enterprise account, and an adhoc doesn't cut it[ expiration date very short], you can just use a password?, that the intended users will know?

use the token of the device, and if the registered token doesn't gets recognised, show an error login in screen
