How to distribute iOS apps outside the AppStore

Navigation
3

I would like to know how the iOS distribution process works outside the AppStore. I would like to carry out the process as "AppNana", in which when you enter their website (www.appnana.com) through an iDevice, you are asked to install the application. * Note: This is not a shortcut on the desktop just because the app is actually installed and loaded on iDevice.

The goal is to provide the .ipa of my app to anyone who wants to download, just like AppNana. What is the scheme and how much does it cost?

You need the iOS Developer Enterprise Program ( $ 200 more than the usual $ 99 program, which in addition to other benefits, will allow you to distribute proprietary applications hosted on your own server.

I believe the idea of this program is for the internal use of the companies, but it ended up being used for other purposes as in the example that you mentioned, that still, I think it does not hurt the policy of Apple .

On this Apple support page you can see the process that happens to the Apple install this type of application, and which they recommend for users to be installed only if the server is secure and operated by the company itself.
