[semi-OT] Distributing apps for iOs outside iTunes

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

Ad hoc distribution is only for beta testing. Using it for deployment 
would violate Apple's license conditions. It might be ok to do this, 
unless Apple decides to review your account and discovers that you're 
updating the list of devices every year without releasing new beta 
versions or even without ever releasing a final version. I really don't 
know how Apple would react to that, but I wouldn't risk it.

I think that iTunes connect has a b2b option for regular dev accounts. 
If it is still there, you might want to check it out.

They would include at least one of your devices in their list, so you can test installs, and you would be able to build for up to 100 devices. If they only need about 10, that would cover quite a few employee and device changes.
