Best Way To Quick Deploy

Hello.

I am a developer contracted by a client to develop a custom app intended for internal use.

Once the first version of the app is released, it is expected that the application will be evolving so fast in order to add new features, new fields to existing features and so on. As usual when the apps are for internal use. Then many periodic modifications are expected.

I am doubting about the best way to accomplish these continuous deployments for upgrades. Currently, I am pointing to use Private Distribution of Custom Apps, as apple recommends but: How many time lasts between upgrades submissions and apple approval of these new versions so that the upgrades are then released in the private store? Or there is no need of apple approval for each new version? (as the Ad Hoc distribution method).

What would be the best way to get rapid "re-deployment" for every new version?

Thank you

Have you looked at unlisted apps ?

As long as the app is not stabilised but evolves at a rapid pace, have you considered TestFlight ?

Alberto-1970, can you clarify how you're distributing this app?

If it's developed internally using an Enterprise Developer account, you can deploy internally to your organization without going through App Review. You can deploy to your internal servers as often as you need.

  • Helo, Jason.

    Until today, I have only tested using Ad Hoc distribution (recopiling some device's UUID).

    Right now, I am looking for a way to distribute without apple review if possible and also, without requiring devices' UUID, because, with many upgrades in the horizon, many requests for apple reviews would be time cost prohibitive... The application is just for internal use.

    Apple Developer Enterise seems to fit my needs. Just curious, it is not being deprecated in favor to Custom Apps?
