And is it what I need?
Here's what I have: an iOS (for iPhone/iPod Touch) app that - mostly - works; enough to be usable in a production environment, but doesn't have all the 'spit-and-polish' of a fully completed app.
Currently, the project for it resides on my laptop, and whenever I receive a "reminder" about the provisioning profile expiring, I login to the iOS dev portal, delete the existing profile, then create a new one, so it won't expire real quick. I then update my iPad, and iPhone 3GS, as well as a few other iPads in my workplace (one belongs to my supervisor).
I'd like to distribute this on the app store so they can d/l it there, and not have to put up with the "reminder" notices, but I don't want just anyone to be able to find the app on the App Store. Is this what Ad-hoc distribution is for? Or is there a better option?
Finally, does Apple still vet such apps with the same scrutiny they do for "normal" apps?, or are they willing to let certain HI/usability 'gotcha's' slide (because it's just for in-house use, not for the general public)?
