Right, I used the .ipa method a lot. But either way, there's still all the profiles and XCode and provisioning, etc. I understand the need for security but you'd think for local testing with known users Apple would allow you to skip all the headaches.

You could check out TestFlight for iOS.

Also using an ipa file:

Hi Craig,

I am interested in this as well. I want to create a stack that can be accessed by about 50 people. All for free. But access has to be by smart phone, not by going to an always-on computer sitting in a room somewhere. That would be easy.

Jacque has advised me, but I feel that it will not be possible without my having to deal with provisioning, app stores and whole knows what else. This was discussed broadly a while ago on the forum. The project would be a lot of fun, but is not important enough for me to make that effort.

for iOS you cannot avoid all this profiles etc. stuff, the final app needs to be in the Apple App Store.

For Android, you can sign the runtime in LC by selecting "Sign for development only" and put the app online somewhere. The potential users of that app then need to "Allow software installation" in the security settings of the cellphone from
that URL, the they can simply install the app.

No way, then?

See above, partly... 8-)

Hi friends,

my customer is about to finish his app (with my help :-).
Some questions, where I am not sure, since I always met these requirements in question.

Does the developer need an own website:
For Android?
For iOS?

Does the APP itself need a website:
For Android?
For iOS?

I know that one definitivley needs a page to show the privacy policy for the app.
Thanks for any hint!

Best

Klaus
