[semi-OT] Distributing apps for iOs outside iTunes

[Mark Wilcox]

I've used Ad Hoc Distribution for this a few times before - it can become a  
bit of a pain because employees join and people get new devices - you have  
to manage updates to the provisioning profile manually - more often than  
you'd think. 


A better option is if you can get the client to join the iOS Developer  
Enterprise Program: 

https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/ 


It's $299/year but then you can get Enterprise distribution profiles/ 
certificates. These don't have any device restrictions at all, it's just  
part of Apple's rules that they're only allowed for internal use within an  
Enterprise. This removes all the issues with collecting UDIDs and keeping  
provisioning profiles updated.
