Is there a way to not publish the app developer's full name in the app store?
Sure. Create a company and publish your apps as that company instead of your own name.

I am installing AppA from CompanyA in my iPhone via TestFlight.
I am installing AppB from CompanyB in my iPhone via TestFlight.
I have my iPhone UDID to CompanyA, CompanyB. Would it be possible for CompanyA that CompanyB's app is installed in the device or vice versa.
Well if both the Company are using different TestFlight account (which is obvious) they cannot get the data.
In TestFlight, you create teams and add Apps to that.
If the team member has developer or leader role he can have access to
Upload and distribute a build to a team
Delete apps and builds
Invite or recruit members to a team
View SDK data associated with a build
Promote/demote testers/developers
Access the team developer site on TestFlight
Respond to feedback via the developer site
Access analytics for live applications
At testflight website Dashboard the data is present
User Device Last install Update Status
Please note the Device UDID has to added while building the app.
Other than the dashboard no one can have the information of which users have installed the apps.
So if both company are using different TestFlight accounts and they are not having a common team member with developer or leader Role, your installation information is safe.
Dashboard information image:
No, it is not possible. Company A will not get any information about Company B's app on your device. Any information that is private to you will not be accessible to any third party.
no one can see which apps you are accessing in u r phone even it is companyA or companyB that udid will be use full only to install apps when they are developing. no one can track your phone with UDID.
IOS paid application sharing we need to block.
Planning to submit paid application in Apple store. Suppose a user brought application and download to Itunes account, then i sync to my mobile device, able to use that.
1.From itunes can we share application ipa to any other user?
2.is there any way to identify which apple id used for downloading?
3.any option for blocking user without downloading from apple store?
Apps bought/downloaded from the app store are linked to the account that download the app. You can there for not just share the IPA.
On a jailbroke device you might be able to remove the security measures that restrict this. But what you are proposing is not possible with official App Store apps.
You cant code to UDID anymore since the update to the iTunes ToS. They are all account bound. In the cases I have tried to share the .ipa file the app data inside that app specific to me did not migrate to the new user
I have a requirement that a client wants to be able to allow users to download apps from within an app (which I will call the main app), based on a user's score (when a user achieves a certain score, they can have an app). We would like to do this without linking to the app store directly, so that users of the main app can be granted access to another app.
So, is there a way to interface to the app store while hiding the official app store from the user? I have seen similar functionality in Passbook, but not exactly what we are looking for. Any ideas? Thanks! Viv

How to link to apps on the app store
If your app is in Apple appstore, you can use itms:// service to install apps directly. Check the above link that tells awesome stuff about the apple app store itms services.
I need to build an Store app that can be used to install a few apps that I've developed. I'm planning to do this using in-app purchasing. i.e. the user can purchase the new apps from my store. Is this possible?
No. The iOS security sandbox will prohibit installing any additional apps from your app. Only apps purchased from Apple's iTunes App store can be installed on a customer's device (except for a developers own devices, and a very limited number of beta test users).
You might be able to sell access to web apps, which a user would have to manually clip as web clippings onto their device (they can't be auto installed). But Apple may or may not accept an app which sells those web clippings, so you'd might have to figure out a way to sell them from your web site.
It would ultimately have to link to the app store to do the app downloads. In-app purchasing is just that...in your apps. You can set up a store, but if you want them to be installed as separate apps on the user's phone, you will just have to link to the app store.
Apple most likely won't allow it.
if you are using your "store" app to distribute full apps, instead of just additions to your store app, it DEFINITELY won't pass.
It would be circumventing their distribution system (and 30% cut) and they won't like that very much.
No, your app can't install other apps directly, but you can use an app store url to send your customers to any of your other apps in the app store. There's more info in this SO thread.
It would be a different story if you were working under the enterprise or ad hoc distribution models, in which case you could link to your apps on a web server and install them over the air. But given that you're talking about in-app purchase, it's pretty clear that you're distributing under the standard distribution model.
If your other apps just deliver new content, what you should do is build an universal app that handles all your content and then let the user download new and different content using in-app purchasing. Then you end up with an app similar to iBook, that offers different content, but the same user interface.
One option is to ship your "parent" app with all the content for "children" apps, albeit encrypted. Use in-app purchasing to decrypt "children" content.
If I have app which is already on App Store is it allowed to sell it on my website ?
You can create website for it, you can promote it there, you can put direct link to the AppStore on your page, etc. But there's no other way how to distribute it - just AppStore. Otherwise users will no be able to install it on their phones.
You can check this website, it has some information about promoting your app on your website. http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/faq.html
