Thanks Dennis. Do you have any experience with side loading apps onto i-devices? I'm aware that there are ways to do this via Jailbreak, but we really want our clients to be able to sideload without the jail break, and our services shouldn't go through the app store because they are services onto other apps of ours that aren't for general sale.

there is a way to develop enterprise apps that aren't available for all on the App Store. I don't remember the details on it but recall reading about a couple of years ago when a previous employer was looking to do the same.
you can probably get some info about it on:
https://developer.apple.com/[^]
I seem to recall reading that they are still installed via the App Store but I could be wrong.
Do you know on how many devices the app will be installed? With a developer license you are permitted to deploy your to app to a certain number of devices for "testing" purposes. I have heard about companies doing this for apps that will run a very limited number of devices.

That's entirely dependent on each client. In certain cases, it's 10 to 20, but with other clients, it's only 2 or 3.

You are most likely going to want to research the Enterprise apps route. I know what you are trying to do can be done, I just don't know the details.
I am not sure how far from a Apple Store you are but sometimes they have a business sales person in their stores that can help get you started in the right direction.
The developer stuff that Apple has on the web is really helpful so I would start there first.
