iOS Question Publish my app to non store

[aeric]

Hi all,

First, I know how to publish my apps to App Store. I have an individual Apple Developer Program account which is signed up for $99 per year.

Now I wish to publish my app which I don't want to put on App Store. I found out that I need to enroll my company for Apple Developer Enterprise Program which is $299 per year.

1. Are there any other way so that my users can install my app downloaded from my website instead of enroll for the Enterprise account?
I know beta tester can use TestFlight or I can publish my app using office local network IP but these 2 methods still require the device UDID.

2. If I enroll for the Enterprise account, I can create a page and provide the link to the *.ipa file.
My users don't need to provide their devices UDID and I don't need to add them every time in my Apple Developer account?
I also can use services like diawi.com to share the app?

3. If I enroll for the Enterprise account, I can publish the app to let anyone to install. It doesn't limited to my company employees only?

Please advise before I enroll for the Apple Developer Enterprise Program.

Thanks all.

A while back I happened to come across something that was so great that I thought it should be included in the B4i installation. (I believe I posted a Wish about it also.)

It might not be what you need, but it sure works fine when one just need to push out a test to a couple of testers:

Hi Sandman, I saw this thread before but as mentioned by Erel, the first step is to get the beta tester device UDID. This is what I want to avoid.

1. Add the beta tester device UDID to the provision file and download the updated file.

The only way to distribute outside of the app store and without the user UDID is with an enterprise certificate.

Oh right, I forgot about that part. Sorry about the noise.

No issue. Thanks for trying to help. I will try the OTA Deployer one day.
