The same code for ios can be distributed privately. Usually, ios apps can only be downloaded and installed through the Apple App Store, but you can also see that some apps can be downloaded and installed without going through the Apple App Store. This distribution method is suitable for the following two situations:

Enterprise application download;

Only for internal staff or customers, or even customized for different customers. Such an application does not need to be placed on the AppStore; .

Temporary download;

If the application is not online yet, but the QR code of the app download address is provided on the publicity page, then a temporary solution is needed to solve the problem of application distribution and download.

This installation method is actually to use the deployment method of enterprise certificate signature app to directly install the program on the ios device. Strictly speaking, it does not meet the relevant regulations of Apple, so it is generally not recommended to use this method for final application distribution. The following is a detailed introduction of the implementation. There are three main documents prepared:

Application suffix (. Ipa) file (using enterprise preset description file)

List (suffix. Plist) file (list description file in xml format)

Web page (suffix. Html) file (interface for guiding users to install)
