我是 A 公司,试图向 B 公司销售一款 iPad 应用程序。B 公司目前有 4 名员工。我已经为该应用程序提供了固定价格,以获得足够的许可证以满足他公司的需求。五个问题:
我是否可以以 B 公司的名义获得一个常规开发者帐户并以 Ad hoc 方式分发应用程序(1)?
如果不是,加入 B 公司的企业开发者计划并以这种方式分发应用程序是否会更好 (2)?
那么批量采购计划又如何呢?我会在 A 公司的开发者计划下构建应用程序,然后将其出售给 B 公司。我会以 9.99 美元的价格出售它,但仍然获得固定价格(可能减去 9.99 美元 x 4)。这是允许的吗(4)?
如果 A 公司和 B 公司现在想要合作并将 iPad 应用程序出售给其他公司 C、D...,最佳设置是什么 (5)?
I am Company A trying to sell an iPad app to Company B. Company B currently has 4 people. I have gave a fixed price for the app for enough licenses to fit the needs of his company. Five questions:
Would it be allowed for me to get a regular developer account under the name of Company B and distribute the app Ad hoc style (1)?
If not, would it be better to get into the Enterprise Developer Program under Company B and distribute the app that way (2)?
And what about the Volume Purchasing Program? I would build the app under Company A's Developer Program and then sell it to Company B. I would sell it for $9.99 but still get the fixed price (possibly minus the $9.99 x 4). Is that allowed (4)?
If Company A and Company B now want to cooperate and sell the iPad app to other Companies C, D, ... what would be the best setup (5)?

有关分发方法的更多详细信息,我发现这很有用(尽管与 Testflight 的最新更改相比有点过时):http://mobiledan.net/2012/03/02/5-options-for-distributing-ios-apps-to-a-limited-audience-legally/
回答您的问题问题,我会总结如下:
是的,您可以临时分发,但根据方法,您的应用程序可能会在 30 天后过期(Apple Testflight,限制 1000 个用户),或者1 年(Diawi 具有配置文件,限制 100 个用户)。 https://developer.apple.com/testflight/
企业:分发给有限用户给他们一个链接,但他们必须都是您公司的一部分。应用程序不需要通过任何 Apple 验证。 https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/
B2B:通过邀请电子邮件向有限用户分发。用户还需要注册批量采购,但他们不需要是您公司的一部分。但是,应用程序确实需要通过 Apple 验证。 https://developer.apple.com/programs/volume/
B2B 解决方案听起来像是这样最适合您的情况,您还可以根据需要调整价格以出售给其他公司。
For more details on distribution methods, I find this useful (though a bit out of date with the latest changes to Testflight): http://mobiledan.net/2012/03/02/5-options-for-distributing-ios-apps-to-a-limited-audience-legally/
In answer to your question, I would sum it up with the following:
Yes, you can distribute ad-hoc, but depending on the method, your app can expire in 30 days (Apple Testflight, limit 1000 users), or 1 year (Diawi with provisioning profile, limit 100 users). https://developer.apple.com/testflight/
Enterprise: distribute to limited users by giving them a link, but they must all be part of your company. Apps do not need to pass any Apple Validation. https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/
B2B: distribute to limited users by inviting their emails. The users also need to sign up for Volume Purchasing, but they do not need to be part of your firm. However, apps do need to pass Apple validation. https://developer.apple.com/programs/volume/
A B2B solution sounds like it is the best fit for your scenario, and you'll also be able to adjust the prices to sell to other companies as you see fit.
如果您有一个产品想要根据多个客户的需求销售给他们,即定制/量身定制的 B2B 应用程序,那么 VPP 计划是最好的,而且 9.99 美元的金额已减少到 0 美元,因此您可以在 VPP 上销售免费应用程序。
如果您想将您的产品出售给单个客户,而该客户会为其内部员工使用该产品,那么请选择企业分销。
第三,通过应用程序商店最常见的发行版,任何人都可以从那里下载它。 (主要是 B2C 应用程序)
对于您的场景,VPP 是最好的。
干杯!!!
If you have a product which you want to sell to multiple clients according to their need i.e. customised/tailor made B2B apps then VPP program is best, also $9.99 amount has been reduced to $0, so you can sell free apps on VPP.
If you want to sell your product to a single client which would use that product for his in house employees then go for enterprise distribution.
Third, most common distribution in trough app store, from where anyone can download it. (mostly B2C apps)
For your scenario VPP is best.
Cheers!!!
