Can I distribute a free B2B App using redemption codes

Not sure if anyone here has any experience with this, but I've just finished a free app for a client, and during the review process it was rejected from the App Store becuase it was deemed B2B app.


After a couple of exchanges, Apple suggested I could distribute the app as a B2B App if my client set up a Volume Purchase Program account. It all seems fairly straightforward, but I'm a bit confused because the VPP FAQs state that free apps are not eligible for the VPP program.


Is there a difference between general free apps and free B2B apps?


If the client can add a free B2B app to their VPP account, can they use the redemption code process (rather than MDM) to give the app to their users?


Some users have company-owned devices, but a lot will be using personal devices, which is why i'm trying to stay away from an MDM-based rollout.


Any help would be appreciated.

Any answer on this? I have the exact same issue. Can a free B2B app be distributed using the redemption code process???

Anything 🙂 ?

I don't have any experience with this, but this page says "You can offer custom apps for free or at any price tier you select."
