如何限制仅通过 Apple AppStore 向一组用户分发应用程序? [英] How to restrict application distribution to a group of users only via Apple AppStore?

问题描述

我是第一次 iPhone 应用程序开发人员，我正在为我的客户开发应用程序，他们希望将此应用程序分发给与他的业务相关的一群人，并且仅作为免费应用程序.这是一个不适合一般用户的应用程序，因此我们绝对不希望该应用程序在 Apple AppStore 中公开列出，而是希望将应用程序私下分发给一群人.就像通过电子邮件或其他方式向他们发送下载应用程序的链接一样.他们点击它并下载应用程序.但在 Apple 我读到有两个程序可用，如标准程序和企业程序.标准的将公开列出我们不想要的应用程序，对于连接到 MS Exchange 服务器的企业用户来说，企业程序看起来很有吸引力，我们不拥有，甚至不希望设置，因为它不需要.

谁能帮我回答以下问题?1. 如果我们使用标准程序，我们如何限制应用程序仅通过某些 AppStore 链接可见，我们将通过电子邮件将该链接发送给我们的用户.2. 如果我们使用 Enterprise Program，是否可以在我们的 Apache+PHP+Linux 环境上做一个简单的设置，即不涉及 MS Exchange 服务器.

谢谢，萨米尔.

解决方案

1. 如果我们使用标准程序，我们如何限制应用程序为仅通过某些 AppStore 链接可见我们会将该链接发送到我们的用户通过电子邮件.

这很简单:你不能.您可以通过 AdHoc 分发手动分发应用程序(为此，您需要安装该应用程序的每部 iPhone 的 UDID，并且许可证每年都会用完并需要更新)或将其公开发布到 AppStore，但通过在应用本身内使用身份验证来限制对应用的访问.

2. 如果我们使用 Enterprise Program，我们可以对我们的程序进行简单的设置吗?Apache+PHP+Linux 环境，即不涉及 MS Exchange 服务器.

Afaik 我认为这应该是可能的，因为您基本上只是在做一个巨大的 AdHoc 分发，但是如果没有 Exchange Server，它可能会很痛苦，因为您可能还需要 UDID.但老实说，我从来没有仔细研究过这个程序.

I'm a first time iPhone application developer and I'm developing application for my client who wish to distribute this application to a group of people related to his business only, and as FREE application only. This is such an application which is not meant for general users so we definitely don't want this application is publicly listed in Apple AppStore, rather we want to distribute application to group of people privately. Just like sending them a link to download application via email or something. They click on it and application get downloaded. But in Apple I read that two programs are available like Standard Program and Enterprise Program. The standard one will list application publicly which we do not want, and enterprise programs looks compelling for enterprise users connected to MS Exchange server which we do not posses and not even wish to setup because its not needed.

Can any one help me answer following? 1. If we go with Standard program, how can we restrict application to be visible via some AppStore link ONLY and we will send that link to our users via email. 2. If we go with Enterprise Program, can we do a simple setup over our Apache+PHP+Linux environment i.e. without involving MS Exchange server.

Thanks, Sameer.

1. If we go with Standard program, how can we restrict application to be visible via some AppStore link ONLY and we will send that link to our users via email.

It is very simple: You can not. You can either manually distribute the App through AdHoc distribution (for this you will need the UDID of every single iPhone the app will be installed and afaik the the license runs out every year and needs to be renewed) or post it to the AppStore publicly but restrict access to your application by using an authentication within the App itself.

2. If we go with Enterprise Program, can we do a simple setup over our Apache+PHP+Linux environment i.e. without involving MS Exchange server.

Afaik I think this should be possible as you basically are just doing a huge AdHoc distribution, but without Exchange Server it might get a pain as you will probably also need the UDID. Yet honestly I never took any closer look at this program.
