iOS Question [closed] How to avoid to pay 99€ every year

[yves67]

Hello,
I have developped an application for a customer, running on 6 Ipad's.
This application is not on the Apple store
The application is stable, no modifications and running well
but every year, the certificates expired and I am oblige to pay 99€ to recreate the certificates and rebuilt the application

Is it another solution to avoid this problem ??

Thanks a lot for you help

Best Regards

@Erel doesn't like it. But you can jailbreak the devices. It's not worth. Just pay the $99 to keep your app running on apple devices.

When they are ready to replace the IPads, get them to buy Android tablets and port it to B4a.

Thanks for your answers but
1- I don't want to jailbreak the Ipad's of my customer....
2- this customer is an APPLE convinced, no way to use Android tablets

question :
if I put this application on the Apple store, would it be the same problem ??

thanks for your help

The app will be removed from the store. I think that it will continue to run properly if it is already installed.

The certificate expires after one year and the app will keep in the store if you renew the certificate.

Since your customer is convinced by Apple, wouldn't it be the case that he also thinks that he has to pay 100 euros to use your app?
Maybe he becomes less convinced of Apple by feeling the cost. Or if he is so convinced he will be willing to pay the cost of the renewal

ok, thanks for all replies
yes, my customer will pay, but every year I have to recreate the certificates and rebuilt the application....
I thought it will be a better solution

There is a better solution. Get paid $ 200.
$ 99 for Apple posting your work and $ 101 for you doing the work

Good idea ...

es, my customer will pay, but every year I have to recreate the certificates and rebuilt the application....

1. You don't need to rebuild the app if there are no changes.
2. Recreating the certificates doesn't take more than 5 minutes. It is really simple after doing it once or twice.
