iPhone App for restricted set of users?


Is it possible to create an iPhone App for certain group of users ? Like, can we create some kind of private group on App Store and our clients could go to that group and then the app would be available to them ?

If my app has a start-up page like asking for License/Pin , so could only those users access it who have that Pin , would it be acceptable for App Store ?

Basically I want to set access of my app to limited set of users, so what are my options here ? I dont want to go to 'Enterprise Program' as my users are not employees of my organization they could be any one , any where in the world.


Solution

  • In general the application should be available for everyone, otherwise it will not be accepted for publishing on Appstore. However it is allowed to require some kind of registration, whether is for free or does cost something. It is also possible for a software to require some kind of hardware as well. For example an application that works as a remote control for a media player.

    There is no such thing as a group on Appstore.
