objective c - Publishing a private iOS app - Clarifications -

i'm developing ios app going used internally within our organization, , not intend publish app store.

i have elementary questions can't seem correct answers despite research.

since company owns code, in name should apple id created? once app ready deployed device, in name should purchase developer program? should go corporate purchase asks duns number of corporation? in such cases, should rely on purchase departmentof company make actual purchase?

also, how sign app? believe asks email id generate key. can id mine? finally, how add more team members can support or add new features app in absence? how can provide them access build app (code signing).

the intention have id test app in real devices. test machines in country 1 , country 2. so, if purchase id country 1, can use same id test devices in country 2 too. there restriction in doing that?

we test app in iphone , ipad. there limitation in number of devices added developer id?

we have apple id in country 1 , apple id in country 2, since have 2 mac machines, 1st in country 1 , 2nd in country 2. whether both apple ids can use same developer id?

appreciate answers , sorry long list of questions.

thanks, mathew liju

you have 3 choices: "normal" developer account, can manually install app on reasonably large number of devices; think 100. used give app testers. "corporate" developer account, can distribute app on devices owned company. company has sign contracts; not allowed distribute outside company. , "normal" developer account again, can put app on app store. however, can download it, , apple testing , can reject it.

up 20 or 50 devices i'd go "normal" developer account. have 1 private account, , 1 belonging company - company should buy 1 "normal" developer account , developers in company can use it. can start account, , if number of users grows, buy corporate account.
