How to rebrand (and redistribute) iOS iPad application?

I guess, if a single customer owns 150 iPads, he can be seen as a organization — and the iPods would be something like "in-House" (what ever this term means). You wrote nothing about your customer, but he should check, if he can get a DUNS number, and get himself a enterprise account that you could administer to distribute the app.

If a DUNS number is available, I'd go with 3.

2.: I don't think, that apple would like rebranded apps
I had a look into the app store review guidelines. 2.20 and 2.22 might apply.

1.: remember, that the certificates on each device needs to be updated regular. might be quite a hassle for you or the user.

PS: I didn't read them yet, but Apple has this free books:

  • iOS Deployment Scenarios, PDF
  • In-house App Development Accelerator Guide, PDF

PS2: Maybe Volume purchase Program for Business is a way to go, but only available in the US right now :(

Coming Soon. The App Store Volume Purchase Program is expanding to the following countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, and United Kingdom.


I suggest doing #2 also...and when you write in Review Notes when you submit it that it's basically the same app only with some custom modifications ...after all you own the source code of the original app so you can release as many copies as you like.

You could write in the description too..that it's a modified version of the original app. I don't see any problems there.

A plus to this solution is that you might sell some of these apps too (i mean the modified version) and if you don't want it to remain on the app store just remove app from sale after your client bought the apps he wanted.
