Question

this is rather odd for stack overflow, as its not programming. I didn't know where else to go, apple devforums are.. ahh, anyway,

I have created an app, for a company and myself too, its a reference application and hence not tied to any company servers or even my server, think of it as an educational app.

The app is available on AppStore, however, I wanted to offer it to a company, that is not in the list of countries that have Volume Purchase Program.

I wanted to know what are my options here, I want to assume (although I do not know) that the company does have an enterprise iOS developer's license.

In this case, is there a way, i could In-Theory offer them my application For their In-House distribution?

Are there any examples? Lets say that they contracted a third party developer (with the app in AppStore) to make their In-House app build.

Was it helpful?

Solution

If the company has a developer Enterprise license, then you can take your source code and build and sign using certificates created from their account. This version of the app can then be distributed within the company. Note that if this company does not currently have an Enterprise developer account, they will have to sign up for one (requires a D-U-N-S number) and will need to incur the annual cost of $299.

There are a number of things that you need to deal with. You will need to deal with ownership of your code, ongoing support and recompiling the app for them annually when the certificate expires, etc. since you are not an employee of this company.

This question will probably get closed for being off-topic, but hopefully gives you something to think about.
