im having a big doubt here, and i couldn't find any answer over the internet.
We develop multiple ios apps, under phonegap build, apps are similiar, just logo image change and some internal parameters.
In the process of publish one app, we generate an ios certificate for distribution, then generate the mp , and register the app on pushwoosh.
Now we get adviced than no more certificates are avaible to distribution for ios, so the only way to continue doing this is to use a same distribution certificate for multiple apps.
Is this possible, considering we are using pushwoosh for pushes?
Thanks in advance
A push certificate cannot be used for more than one app.
Every app has a unique app id and push certificates are for one specific app id only.
Distribution certificates are not linked to an app, there is one per Apple account, why are you even trying to generate and use more than one?
Maybe you are confusing a distribution certificate with a distribution profile, a distribution profile is linked to a specific app.You should defiantly have multiple distribution profiles.

I have just developed our new iOs app and deployed it through iTunes to my iPhone.
I don't want to use the app store because it's an internal app. I would like to be able to send a link to the ipa and for someone to be able to download it and install it through iTunes. Is that possible?
The only solution I have came across so far is registering the receiver iPhones in my provisioning and use the ad-hoc deployment process.
We used to have an ipa that would install as described on any iPhone without any kind of registration.
I am bit confused between ad-hoc distribution and in-house distribution...
Would paying €299 for an organization account solve that?
Thanks!

Yes, you will need to shell out those €299 if you ever wanna get into serious app development.
Yes, you are correct, registering the receiver iPhones in my provisioning and use the ad-hoc deployment process can be done easily but will start to wear you out once the number of test devices start to go up.
This Apple Doc is the perfect guide to get you started with setting up an internal distribution host service.
We have Apple's Enterprise distribution account that we are using to publish enterprise app to company employees. We are using MDM solution for distribution.
Do we need to generate ipa for MDM deployment differently than the standard App store procedure? obviously we have selected Enterprise deployment at end using xcode's generate ipa method.
How all devices in the company can install app using MDM. Do we need to prepare devices somehow first?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Finally figured this out so writing a reply
One has to generate "Enterprise Provisioning" profile replicating App store one. You have not to include any devices in the Provisioning profile. Everything will be managed by MDM.
I'm newbie. I have any questions about creating AdHoc Distribution for iOS application:
If I use AdHoc Distribution, do I need to release my app. I mean I need upload my app to AppStore?
After creating AdHoc Distribution, I just sent a binary file to other testers? I don't need send the source code?
If want create AdHoc Distribution, I need account develop IOS. I used this account to login and add UDID? Can you show me step by step how to create AdHoc Distribution and adding UDID?
Thanks in advance

No.

Right. The distribution profile that you create tells the device that it's okay to run the app. An Ad Hoc profile includes the device IDs of the devices to which you are distributing the app. Ad Hoc is used mainly for distributing your app to a limited number of people for testing -- it's unwieldy for real-world distribution.
If want create AdHoc Distribution, I need account develop IOS. I used this account to login and add UDID? Can you show me step by step how to create AdHoc Distribution and adding UDID?
Yes, you need an account to run your app on the device whether you're distributing via Ad Hoc distribution or even just developing the app.
I'm not going to take the time to write a step-by-step tutorial because Apple's instructions are pretty clear on this topic, and there are plenty of tutorials on the web already as well. If you're having difficulty with something specific, feel free to ask about that.
First create .ipa file than open http://www.diawi.com site and then
drag your ipa file to upload box then press send .At this time you will get one url.
Give this url other to infall that app.Enjoy
A common problem that is being faced by many developers, I'm posting it again as I couldn't get any right solution.
For distribution of apps using InHouse account (by OTA), how is it possible to send push notifications to the apps installed on devices. With development profile, everything works good during. The problem is when distribution only.
How will Apple recognize that the bundle identifier is being used in house distributed application?
How will Apple recognize that the bundle identifier is being used in house distributed application?
Apple will recognize the app ID because you added (or should have) the app ID in the developer portal and created a provision profile that allows push notifications. If your problem is only with the distribution version, compare your development provision settings to the distribution provision settings in the portal.
APNS has nothing to do with the App Store or iTunesConnect; it works fine with enterprise distribution.
I developed an app for iPad that is being used by one person (never posted to the app store) it was delivered an ad hoc.
It's for personal, non-commercial use. The person is getting (of course) a 'certificate expiration' warning as the cert expires in a few weeks. Is there a way to get around that for an ad hoc app - without using using an enterprise developer account? We only have 1 user - but its important that the app continue working for him. Do we need to create a new cert, rebuild the app and send him a new IPA? Any good ideas to get around this?
You don't need to rebuild the app, just create a new IPA from your existing archive using the new certificate.
I would imagine asking Apple would be a good place to start. At least you will know if you can do so legitimately before trying other work arounds
