How to update user iOS app with Apple Enterprise account - ios

I have an Enterprise Apple Account. I want to update the user app without any notification.
Let me explain my requirement -
I have one iOS native app (Say app1). I have my own cocoa-pods library (Say lib1). I have integrated my own cocoa-pods library lib1 to native app app1. there is no issue. I have integrated and know the basic procedure to integrate this.
Now my requirement is that if I change something in my cocoa-pod library lib1, then it should be automatically reflect to Native iOS app app1 without sharing new build with users.
I don't want to run the command pod install or pod update and then share new ipa with users or enterprise link.

How develop modular flutter app to install or uninstall within the app itself

We are developing an app with flutter framework. Want to know how can we achieve the following functionality.
Base app will have minimal features
App should list the available modules to add to the existing app.
User should be able to add these (either with in-app purchasing or free)
User should also be able to disable/uninstall these modules.
I read about packages and plugins. I felt that they are to be included at development time in pubspec.yaml. But I want to add these modules from an installed app at runtime.
What I can think off right now is to use Android AIDL to create an assistant apk. Then you can sell it on the App Store.
A short tutorial is available here.

Creating an iMessage App/Sticker App that Allows to Save Stickers, Xcode 9, Swift |&| Replacing an App with One on iTunes Connect

I want to create an iMessage app that allows the user to save stickers, so when a new release of the iMessage app comes out with entirely different stickers the user would be able to use the stickers from the previous version, and so on.
I would also like to know if you can replace an app on iTunes Connect with a different project than the original was built on.
eg.
create a game for iOS
a few months later, create the same game for iMessage and iOS but with a new project, and the identifications, profiles and certificates the same as the original.
Not sure if the community can help you with the first part of your question, because it depends on your implementation. Sure it's possible, but you won't be able to use the native UI within iMessage.
Secondary part of your question with regards to updating an app on iTunes Connect: You can always update an app if you use the same bundle ID (com.test.app) and make sure the version and build code are correct. (i.e. increasing) Besides that it does not matter what project / base you are using, if you correctly sign and build the IPA and upload it to iTunes Connect: https://help.apple.com/itunes-connect/developer/#/dev480217e79

How to test the "open-in-app" feature for the branch link created using Branch.io in development build?

I have an application which is already in App Store.I have to check the branch linking feature I added using Branch.io in development build.That is, when a user shares something on social networks, clicking on the shared post should open the application installed. So how do I check this functionality in development build?
Alex from Branch.io here: Branch doesn't know (or care) how the application is installed onto your device. Installing directly from Xcode and using a beta distribution system (TestFlight, Hockey, Fabric, etc.) are treated exactly the same way as going through the App Store.
Here is a flow you can use to test this:
Install a build of your app that includes the Branch SDK
Generate a link and post it somewhere like iOS Notes
Uninstall your app
Open the link and let it redirect all the way through to the App Store page
Close the App Store
Install a build of your app locally (using either Xcode or TestFlight/Fabric/etc.)
Open your app
The link data will be returned to you, exactly the same way it would be when your app is installed from the App Store by a user.

Automatically update iOS binary (IPA) from the app with objective-c codes

I am creating a free iOS applications. I want to make clients to be able to download new version of my application from setting page of my app by pressing a button named download new version.
I had see this accepted answer that looks good for me:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/23561783/1939409
Actually I am wondering whether this solution only works for ad-hoc apps or I can use BetaBuilder to create a IPA for my final apps that should install on non jailbreak devices too?
Also is there a way that I call this URL from my app with objective-c codes so that app itself download the IPA file and install it on the device?
You can update app by providing link of app's new version only if you have generated ad-hoc or enterprise distribution build. Also your app can not download the new version on its own. You need to open browser with new version link and rest of the process will be handled by iOS.
