We have developed an app for Windows tablets. We have side loading key and certificates etc and can install the apps using the conventional methods.
We are looking, however, to be able to adhoc distribute these apps to our clients tablets without the client having to manually install the Side loading key and then running the Powershell script and not using Intune.
Ideally we would just be able to provide them a link that will trigger a download (like we can with iOS apps) or that will give them a file they can click to then trigger the install (like an exe or something).
Beta builder helps with this on iOS
Has anyone got any ideas how best to go about this or even better implemented it before?
Thanks in advance,
Unfortunately, Microsoft has chosen to restrict Windows 8 app sideloading to Windows 8 Enterprise Edition. Furthermore, Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) is required for this scenario.

Note: Of course, you can still apply for the developer sideloading key, but you already know about that.

So I'm developing one application with Ionic 3 and we had some problems to test push notifications and generate one test version for iOS users.
Recently Ionic View was removed from Apple store, and same with the Ionic View in the apple store we had some problems to test push notifications, I know that Apple has TestFlight and we think that we can use TestFlight for our iOS users but I don't have one mac but I have Ionic Pro.
My doubt is that "Can I use Ionic Pro to generate one version to use in TestFlight without one MacOS?"
You can use Ionic Pro to do most of what you're looking for, EXCEPT creating the proper .p12 certificate file. As far as I know, you must use a Mac for that. Fortunately, that's a one-time process, so you can perform other aspects of the build process within Ionic Pro.
So, basically you need to create your .p12 certification file on a mac, and
upload it to Ionic Pro -> Settings -> Certificates. You can then build .ipa files with proper credentials in the cloud. Then... you have to upload the ipa file to the app store, and distribute it via TestFlight there.
Another option: There is a pay-as-you-go Mac cloud account service (https://www.macincloud.com/) that might be perfect for what you're doing, specifically since you either only need to create the certificates (at best) or you'd only have to use it when you were creating builds and uploading them via XCode Application Loader. (at worst) Perhaps that's something that you might want to explore? I will say, it is much easier doing that kind of development directly from within a Mac environment, unfortunately.
I have a Windows 8.1 app that I want to be installed on Windows 10 tablet devices. Basically this is an app that the company that I am making app wants for its employees. The following are the conditions that I have
The employees don't have Azure AD accounts.
The customer wants to install the app when the user taps on a link or he can go to the Windows store to install the app
The Customer wants a LOB app which can be used Offline
He does not wants to make him or the users learn any installation procedure. He just wants everything automatically.
I have created an Microsoft Business Store account. I don't know how I was able to register an account on the Microsoft Website for free. But I invited myself as Independent Software Vendor and added an offline app to their store. Now I want to make the apps available to the users.
QUESTIONs:
How can I make the above things happen?
Do I need to add Users somewhere?
How was I able to create a business store by a company's name without any verification?
I got some options for the offline installation but got very confused with the procedure that is mentioned on MSDN.
Thanks
The complicated sideloading with products keys from Windows 8.1 is removed in Windows 10.
In the Settings App->Update & Security->For Developers enable the option Sideload Apps.
Now copy the APPX Files of your apps to the device double click/Tab on the appx files and install the apps.
how can I deploy my prototype app in order to test it on my iphone? obviously it isn't at the stage where it can go on the app store but I;d like to play about with it for testing..
Do I HAVE to enrol in the developer program?
You need to be enrolled in the Apple Developer Program to receive a certificate you can use to sign your apps to be installed on your iDevice.
In short, yes. But you knew that.
Although we as a developer don't suggest illegal installation, but some developers may find it is actually easier with the dark method:
Install you iPhone or iPad with "Installous" and "iFile",
with iFile, you can open a wifi port for any computer in the same wifi network to access the machine from there browser and upload file to the machines (without using iTune), so you can put your *.ipa file in the machine.
In order to manually install the ipa file, you may want to use the Installous, so what someone will do is to put the ipa to the [root]/mobile/Documents/Installous/Downloads, then when you open up Installous, go to Downloads, you will see your ipa and be able to install it!
Hope this hope.
We are getting an error when deploying an iPhone application to iOS 4 using the Windows configuration Utility, 3.0. The application loads great using the configuration utility on a mac, fails on windows.
We have confirmed that the provision is copied onto the device, it's just the app.
The error is:
Could not install application on
device. Error: A signed resource has
been added, modified, or deleted.
Several posts talked about special chars used on macs not working on the PC, we have been careful to only use allowed chars in the name of the app.
Any advice on this would be great, and yes, we suggested they buy a ton of macs already. :)
Had the same error. Finally manage to get around by installing my application using the windows version of iTunes . Forget the iphone configuration utility for installing apps. It's too buggy :(
We've recently updated a Windows Mobile app and I want to create a utility that will:
remove the old version from the device
install the .NET Compact Framework
install the new app
Steps 2 and 3 seem simple enough, but I don't know about 1. Is it possible? If so, how do I go about it?
Every time I've tried installing an application that is already on the phone, the OS tells you it's going to remove the currently installed version first (as long as the company name / application name remain the same).
So by doing #3 it should automatically do #1.
This is on my WM 6.1 phone.
