When Electron App is installed for the first time, it prompts for Accessibility Features Approval on Mac.
Is it possible to find for what app's feature approval is needed? If not, can I disable it in code?
There is no any accessibility features in the code that I am aware of.

I am relatively new to iOS development. I have recently acquired an Individual Apple Developers Account so I can test an app I developed for an individual in my community on his own tablet.
After disconnecting the USB cable I found that the app continues to function. According to this stackoverflow post I have gathered that I have either 9 or 12 months to get feedback from the user of the app and smooth off the rough edges and add some more features before I have to upload the app to the App-Store.
I wasn't actually interested in marketing the app through the App-Store. I developed it for the learning experience it would provide -- and it was definitely an excellent learning experience. I fail to understand why people cannot develop their own apps and upload them their own devices and bypass the App-Store.
Could someone provide some clarity on this?
I think it's for security reasons that Apple prevents direct installation to prevent unauthorized / malicious software to be widespread and some developers who didn't like this idea broke that security barrier and called it "jailbreaking."
However, this voids your device warranty (most likely if you bring a jailbroken phone to an Apple Store).
Apple probably doesnt want people to bypass the app store, otherwise you could have sketchy apps floating around that didnt get vetted by Apple. and you dont have to upload to the app store, its just your provisioning profile that signed the app that you installed to your device would have expired and then it wouldnt run anymore, so would need to reinstall it to the device with an updated provisioning profile (which could require you to renew your developer licence, if thats what you are worried about)
I am following documentation for distributing the in-house app
http://help.apple.com/iosdeployment-apps/mac/1.1/#app43ad871e
I am able to install the app but I wonder is it possible to stop the pop up asking user's permission.
I need this feature because we are a digital signage company so we manage/configure/schedule content for thousands of iPads remotely and there is no user to operate the device.
We've been looking for something similar and discovered https://meraki.cisco.com. Its a free MDM option (they build hardware with some more advanced features) but the silent remote install is definitely possible within the free options.
I'm developing an iPhone + iPad app for a client who doesn't have a Mac and are not willing to give their Apple ID to me so that I could sign and submit the app for them.
Is there any way for them submitting the app giving that I provide them all the necessary screenshots and Xcode project folder?
I somewhere read (can't find again) that I could also send them Signing Tool and that will do the job. Is this correct?
I don't have a Dev license.
Edit
The client has the Dev License.
If you can trust on a third party then you can go with App Cloud -
http://support.brightcove.com/en/app-cloud/docs/step-step-guide-publishing-apple-app-store-using-windows
It requires some info from you and will compile and submit app for you.
I didn't used this but seems it will work in your case.
You are going to have great difficulty submitting an app without a dev licence. For starters, you'll need to purchase a iOS Developer account to verify your system as well as an additional iOS testing platforms you are using.
You should start by creating your own Apple ID here. From there, you can provision your system and submit an App (once you have obtained the correct keys).
I programmed an app for a company and would like to install the app on their iPads without having to submit the app to the App Store since its a commercial app for just this company. Is this possible without connecting each iPad to my MacBook and putting a developer certificate on it.
Is there another way? What about using an URL-link or QR-Code (linking to this url)?
Thanks in advance
Your question is about installing apps without iTunes and the Apple App Store. This is entirely possible and supported by Apple but you are still bound by your developer account's ability to only build signed binaries for 100 devices for testing purposes only.
You can distribute your apps over the air via services like hockeyapp.net and testflightapp.com (free) but these services are just hooking into the iOS system's ability to install signed binaries over the air which has been possible since iOS4. There are several open source projects that provide the bare bones HTML and Javascript/meta tags to install signed binaries over the net - one such one is iOS Beta Builder
If you are creating Enterprise apps for clients (that will exist in production, not just a development environment) then your only legitimate way to provide your clients with apps that won't expire is to use Enterprise Developer Account. The enterprise account has no device limits but the apps you sign with enterprise certs phone home to Apple each time they're launched and are strictly only allowed to be used for a single company and their current employees.
It is because of Apple takes 30% of all the payments, isn't it?
The only way I see is to create usual web-site which runs via browser without installing
I'm looking to find a way to install an app automatically on an iphone. An example would be:
I have an app called my.app.
It's located on my desktop on my mac.
When I plug in my iphone to my computer it automatically installs my.app on to my iphone.
Is this possible? Any ideas of how I could possible do this or get a workaround?
Or, it needs to prompt the user to install it. The app doesn't need to automatically install; it just needs to automatically prompt the user on the iPhone to ask if they want to install it or not.
Legally, you can't. Apple (and maybe some authorized third party) is in charge to deliver the packages using the App Store.
However, if you don't "care" about the legal part, try jailbreaking the phone.
If you set up your device with apple configurator (you can find it in the Mac app store) as supervised device you can edit it's profile to include all the apps you want. If you update the profile (add, remov, update apps) the device will be updated when you plug it in while apple configurator is running.
If your intent is only to bypass the app store you could use web deployment (requires a valid ad hoc or enterprise distribution profile just like apple configurator - or a jailbroken device). See this guide: http://help.apple.com/iosdeployment-apps/#app43ad871e
