ios6 - Distributing pilot iOS apps to educational institutions -


i'm looking optimal way distribute prototype/pilot apps k-12 institutions , can't quite seem figure out.

it doesn't seem using either regular app store or volume purchase program stores ideal, app work our pilot classrooms teachers have been given login credentials. else not able use app in way, , we'll lowest rating, if app makes past review.

the 2 options seem viable-ish are:

  • enterprise distribution: it's technically not meant scenario, i've heard people use successfully. build app , distribute through enterprise distribution flow. problem technically, since we're not affiliated institutions we're piloting in, we'd have have them pay $300/year , add contractor developers them, don't envision happening. approach heard of of developers signing enterprise account , using institutional devices if part of company.
  • custom b2b app: seems 1 use route well, though custom b2b apps still go through apple review process, i'm not clear if prototype far through process. updating app pain, have wait review process complete. it's not clear if educational institutions allowed use route.

i'm curious hear experience either 1 of has been , if think fit scenario well. there options i'm missing? it's important distribution flow simple multiple devices , allow painless update of apps, we'd iterate fast possible.

thanks!

another option might fit needs using testflight http://www.testflightapp.com. allows send beta or prototype versions of app individual devices on web. however, you're still limited using apple's provisioning , can distribute 100 devices in given year. users need provide device udid. might solution if you're looking have few beta testers.
