Enterprise iOS app

Question

I am developing an in-house app and apple rejected the app, as it is not public. Now, I have to enrol for Enterprise Program.I want to know that after enrolment to Apple's Enterprise Program, how the application will be installed to the client devices. Will this be published on the app store? or the app should be installed from a separate link (not from app store)?

Answer 1

Using enterprise account you dont need to publish app on appstore, and the enterprise account even will not provide you option to upload app on appstore.

Using Enterprise account you can share application to any person by creating a .ipa file using enterprise credentials. At this point, i am considering you know creating .ipa file using apple account. You dont need to add any device UDID at developer account for installing application.

Answer 2
