The company I work for wants to distribute (in a public link) an app with In-House signature. I'm pretty sure Apple denies this kind of thing, but I didn't find anything about in the official documentation/contract.
Does anybody know how exactly it works or where it is written?
Regards!
Apple's page is pretty clear on that: "Distribute your proprietary, in-house iOS apps to employees or members of your organization. You can also securely host and wirelessly distribute or update in-house apps to employees, keeping them current anywhere, anytime."
Looks like no to me!
Or just call Apple. The developer support number is 800 633-2152.
See the question "Security of over-the-air distribution of enterprise iPhone apps - OTA iOS" to see limitations of distribution via enterprise (the certificates are the problem).
More info about deployment can be found here:
Well, the short answer is: NO.
You cannot share a link for your app to people outside your organization - that breaches your agreement with Apple. However, I know that some companies do that kind of "beta invitations". Here's my old answer on "How do we publish our ios application for only our customers via our servers?", take a look.
So you think you're stuck with 50 promo codes per version and 100 devices for internal testing? Thankfully, NO! :) This article will shed some more light on how one company distributed over 3000 copies legally. It's worth a read IMO.
EDIT: if you're looking for a formal NO, search for iOS Developer Enterprise Program, where it's stated explicitly that if you share apps outside your organization you account may be suspended/closed.
I found it in Member Center. Selct Your Account Tab and then Legal Agreements in the left pane.
