Hi all,

Any enterprise ios developers? Basically I'm looking at the means of deployment for an in house developed application. From what I've read from apple, this requires either a Developer or Enterprise license, with the Enterprise being the correct one to really use. However our internal market is quite small so I'm also looking for alternates but the only other options seem to be either their Ad-hoc ( 100 device limit, individual devices specified and manual installation ) or TestFlight which seems to have stopped OTA. With other ecosystems, one can just setup a OTA server for deployment but here it appears to be the actual device which restricts the apps use regardless of platform delivery. Am I correct or have I missed something?

This is obviously for non-jailbroken devices.

You need an enterprise license, so you can create and sign provisioning profiles for Ad-Hoc apps. On top of that you need a properly configured plist file and modify your webserver to serve plist and ipa files with the proper mime types. Finally, all this has to happen over TLS v1.2 with the proper ciphers or it will also not work.

Thankyou, do you need a enterprise license per developer or is it a global license?

That's a whole lot of big language for a simple text file that points to an installer.
