I need to be able to deploy my application to other businesses, but not on the app store. The business app is for restaurant owners, and is different to the app that will be available on the app store for users.
I saw that Apple have an 'Enterprise' program, that allow users to deploy apps to internally within there company. For example to co workers. But I need to be able to deploy the app externally to businesses. Has any come across and solved this issue before?
If anyone else is interested in publishing an app for businesses that shouldn’t be on the public App Store, there is the iOS developer enterprise program which allows companies to distribute apps internally without publication on the App Store.
The program needs to be open by the companies as the distribution is only for their employees.
The B2B option is to distribute custom apps from businesses to businesses and only available in the following countries :
Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States.
If you are not from one of these countries, the Enterprise program is the best option. You will need your customers to enroll in the Enterprise program, and then you will be able to join their development team and develop the app on their behalf. (Source: Apple Customer Support).
