[OT] How to take a fairly good concept and jack it up badly

[Colin Holgate]

For the iOS situation to be limiting you would need to be talking about an app that was needed by over 100 people in the company. Even medium sized companies rarely have 100 people who have to run a particular in-house app. If you wanted many hundreds, you only need another one or two more developer licenses.

Using either BetaBuilder, or Jacque's thing, it's easier to install on iOS than Android. With iOS you have to touch the screen three times - once in the email you received, once in the web page you're taken to, and once more in the dialog that asks if you want to install the app. On Android you can touch the APK link in the email message, but then you have to wait for it to download, touch the icon that takes you to download, touch the install button, and touch the permissions button. That's assuming you've followed the instructions you were given on how to set the developer mode to be on.
