Ask HN: Ipad & Appstore question

1 points by instakill 15y ago ↗ HN

Can I get an iPad app certified or whatever is necessary from Apple's side so that it can easily be loaded onto ipads (can I do this directly or is it necessary to go through the app store?)

What's the best way to prevent random people from installing it? (I'd want only certain people to be able to install it - on non-jailbroken iPads).

The only legitimate way to install apps is through the App Store, so you should check out the process – http://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/

They mention something about ad hoc distribution and my Google fu returns nothing.

The quesiton on app exclusivity still stands.
