That's why Apple revoked Facebook's license to do so.
Yes, you can get an enterprise license but Apple can take it away from you at any moment.
Apple also makes it very difficult for small businesses to get one in the first place.
- taylodl 5y agoApple revoked Facebook's ability to distribute their own private iOS applications to their employees? That's what I'm talking about. An enterprise can develop iOS applications and distribute them to their employees' iPhones without permission or intervention from Apple. Maybe we're talking about different scenarios?
- wayneftw 5y agoDo you have to pay Apple yearly and obey Apples rules in order to get an enterprise license? Yes you do. It's $299/year and you have to be a company of a certain size and you need a D & B number. It's the same deal that everybody gets. As a consumer if I wanted to pay Apple $100 per year, I could put my own apps on my phone too... but Apple can revoke my license to do that at any time for any reason.
- taylodl 5y agoYou might be right, it's been a while since we set all that up at our shop. We use AirWatch MDM which allows us to distribute our own apps to our managed devices without having to interface with Apple at all. I was under the impression we no longer had to have an enterprise license to do that. Confusing things is we also have apps we create for our customers so we do have an enterprise license and have to go through the App Store submit process for those apps.
- prepend 5y agoThey revoked it because Facebook was using it with non-employees. The org mode stuff is to deploy apps to staff, not to bypass App Store.
