The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Find the best way to reach your users.
Whether you’re creating business apps for the App Store, customized apps for businesses, or in-house apps for use within your organization, you can easily reach your audience on Apple platforms through the Apple Developer Program.
App Store Reach customers worldwide.
With a category dedicated to business apps, the App Store makes it simple for businesses to discover, purchase, and download apps designed for use by a wide variety of external customers around the world. They can also purchase your apps in volume through Apple Business Manager and distribute to users through Mobile Device Management.
Apple Business Manager Develop custom apps for private distribution.
Meet the unique needs of businesses by privately offering apps you’ve customized just for them. Specific businesses who you identify in App Store Connect will see your app and be able to purchase it in the Content section of Apple Business Manager.
Custom app distribution works well if you’re distributing apps to specific partners, clients, or franchisees. You can also use custom app distribution for your internal employees. Businesses can distribute and manage purchased apps through Mobile Device Management. Alternatively, businesses can choose to provide redemption codes to authorized users.
If you’ve been contracted to deliver a custom version of your app to a business, distributing a custom app allows you to maintain the code and retain your intellectual property rights.
