Can You Really Install an iOS App outside of Apple's App Store?

[JOHN PATTEN]

Hello!

Only other option is to purchase an Apple Enterprise License. Then you can distribute apps within your organization , but not to general public. For example, a school district might purchase an enterprise license to distribute home grown apps to their staff.

But this verbiage -- "distribute their app and source code directly from their website, for use on any platform" -- implies I could put an iOS app on our site and someone could just download --> drag into iTunes --> sync  and voila!... the app is running on their iPhone/iPad. or navigate in their iPhone to a download link and click to install the app....
