How to get Enterprise Features without an Enterprise account

Can some one offer quidance and the best approack to take?

We are in the process of developing an app that needs to be highly secured due to various PCI and HIPPA standards.


Apple rejected our ability to get an enterprise account, because the iPads will not be used by employees in our organiszation.

Rather we will be leasing or selling (OEM & setting up dedicated iPads need to be locked down, to other corporations (like in Kiosk / Guided Acces mode). These iPads are only used for only a specific purpose and the employess at these companies are not allowed to have access to anything outside the app on the ipads.


Basic Requirments are:

  • Supply the iPads already locked down with the single app (even if rebooted)
  • Need to be able to push updates remotely (or installs from the App store - if that's how we must do it)
  • Cannot use Camera (except in app)
  • Cannot transfer 'data' when connected.


(We do have a list of whitelisted & blackedlisted URLs)


Does anyone have an suggestions on how we can lock down the app and provide updates?


  • since the locations are globally, we can't just flyout at a moments notice to unlock, update, and lock the device, and ...
  • strict regulations will not allow any employee to unlock the iPad


Side note...

Is there anyway in Swift to determine that the App is the only App running in Kiosk mode (so we can tell it not to run)?


Appreciate anyone suggestions or feeback.


Thank you

Those companies should purchase their own Enterprise Program accounts and hire your company as internal consultant to configure, deploy etc. Put an appropriate MDM solution in place that will lock them down as needed, while allowing you to perform remote updates, etc.


If that doesn't work for you, be aware there is no solution outside Apple's sphere you can seek help for here in the forums, etc.


Good luck,
