Hi Everbody,

I would like to know whether itz possible to create a profile and certificates which is able to distrubute in all Ipad/Iphone devices.

I will explain it more:

In our concern we were developed an elearning project in flash AS3 for desktop and now it is converted for Iphone/Ipad supporting format ipa from flash cs5 and going to deliver this ipa to the client. but the problem is, when the client want to install this ipa to several customers. Is this possible to install the ipa on the customer devices without any dependency on new certificate and provision for every client devices. Please provide a detailed concept on distributing the ipa to several deveices without any dependency.

Hope you will help on this! Otherwise the development will be converted for browser based which will make the twice work bcoz the packaging ipa formats were already completed. I'm Struggling on distributing the app.

Thanks in advance.

There are enterprise accounts you can have (I think it's $299 a year, and you have to have a special D-U-N-S number). Read more here:

http://developer.apple.com/support/ios/enterprise.html

Other than that you would need to know the IDs for all the devices, and you'd be limited to 100 devices per developer account.

Another approach would be to put the app in the App Store. Some apps are in the store that require a log in to an account in order to work, so if it's a limited edition app you could control access that way.

Outside customers also have benefit on this right? Whether the enterprise certificate will also expired for every three months? Once I developed and installed in the customer device the app never get expired?

If I added some of the customer device id's while on the process and after some days Is it possible to add a new device id?

Any space limit for an app to load it in a appstore?

With Enterprise apps I think the provisioning runs out after a year. It seems to be six months for a regular account. With a regular developer account you can keep adding devices to the provisioning file, and would need to republish the app each time you did that, but anyone who already had the app installed wouldn't have to do an update. You can have up to 100 devices on your account.

If you did put it into the App Store, I don't think there are app size limits. I have a couple installed that are well over a gigabyte.
