Does the iPhone / iPod Touch support bulk enterprise app deployment or would all customers have to buy from app store
Solution 1
If you develop an application that you want to distribute yourself,it must be digitally signed with a certificate issued by Apple. You must also provide your users with a distribution provisioning profile that allows their device to use the application.

Solution 2
Yes, they do support enterprise deployments
Solution 3
The >500 employee restriction (mentioned in some of the responses here) has just been removed within the past week. See: alternative-solutions-for-in-house-iphone-enterprise-app-distribution

I'm just wondering if anybody knows if Apple provides deals to enterprises wanting to deploy an application to a large # of customers. Or does every customer have to go to the app store and buy the application individually giving Apple the 30% cut of your app price.
Thanks

Nestor almost 14 yearsBut you have to have 500 employees and the installation process is too complex to be practical for external customers.

Dan F over 11 yearsThis document is pretty out of date, is there any updated version? Most importantly, is a connection to iTunes still required to install the distribution profile?
