Question

Flash iOS app to client's licence?

I have created an app in Flash CC/AIR and previewed it to the client using my own Apple Developers licence. How can I configure and supply the .ipa file so he can then distribute it to his sales team using his company's Enterprise licence?

Apple have two types of programs:

1) Enterprise - it's allows to distribute your app only directly (without uploading to AppStore). Just give IPA to the clients.

2) Developer - allows to distribute only via AppStore.

Booth allow use AdHoc for testing purpose only.

In case 2. - you must request provisioning profile and certifictes exactly for AppStore market distribution. Not development and etc. Than generate as usual your IPA with "AppStore market" compiling option.

For example here it's Final Release http://devgirl.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Screen-shot-2011-06-15-at-12.09.32-PM.png radiobutton.

After you recive final IPA you need (or your client must do this) upload IPA from MacOS using Application Loader to own Developer account for moderator review and wait.

In case 1 - do the same as in case 2 but don't use Application Loader. Just give IPA to your client.

P.S. Also target your iPA with new Adobe Air that was release day ago http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html so you will be sure it's will not have any ios7 issues.

Thank you Anton.

To clarify; when compiling the ipa file from my computer, what certificates and provisioning profiles are required for the client to be able to use the ipa with their Enterprise licence, or does it not matter?

Also, the download link from the AIR 4.0 SDK page appears to be the 3.9 files :/

Are you sure? Just downloaded PC - it's 4.0.0.1390 and Mac show me the same...

Can't understand what you mean. You need "Distribution" provisioning profile and certificates that was generated for this provisioning profile. Not AdHoc. Are you sure about "Enterprise"? Because it's costs 299 per year from Apple, not 99 as developer.

For compilation - there is no difference between Enterprise and and Developer profile. They booth generate IPA file.
