Distribute an iOS app
AppleĀ® allows you to distribute your apps using Over the Air installation or the Apple AppStore.
Before you begin You must have created a signed iOS app package with an .ipa extension. See Creating a package and Packaging for a mobile device.
Apple offers two separate programs for
distributing your apps:
- To distribute your app using the App Store, you must join the Apple iOS Developer Program.
- To distribute proprietary, in-house iOS apps to your employees, you must join the iOS Developer Enterprise Program.
Important: The Apple ID
that you get with your iOS Developer Enterprise Program does not let you submit your app
to the App Store. You need to join both programs (and get two Apple IDs) if you need to submit your app to the
App Store and distribute proprietary, in-house iOS apps to your employees.
