Hello, I am developing a little app for a business. They will use it for teaching so they will need the app to be installed by 10-15 students monthly. Something like that.
For Android they can just send the APK to students via email, but I have no idea about what would be a good distribution method for iPhone. Please, do you have any suggestion?
Would you have also any advice on how to compile for iOS, since I never had any IPhone or Apple’s device. This is my first mobile app developed.
This is exactly why Apple’s TestFlight beta program is for, but you need to register as an Apple Developer to use it. If you don’t already have a Mac computer, you’ll need one to distribute the iOS builds to your TestFlight participants.
Would be possible (and a good idea) to publish the app and then limit it to a certain amount of ppl for private use? Under a password to unlock the application or similar. I guess Apple may not accept to distribute an app like that but…
The App Store has an option called “Custom App Distribution”, which allows to distribute your app only to specific organizations/users. Your can read more about it here:
That’s the correct and legal approach designed specifically for use cases like yours, I think.
