Thanks Jsweet. How do we file a feature request?
I don't understand why this question is marked as solved?
Can any Apple app dev consultant explain how we should distribute a B2B custom app in an international environment targeted towards employees, contractors, visitors and candidates?
MDM -> Not an option for BYOD, visitors and candidates
Inhouse -> Not an option (visitors, candidates should trust a 3rd party developer)
Custom App using ABM and VPP -> Not an option in multiple countries unless we would register a separate ABM in every one of the 110 different countries
Public Appstore -> Not an option -> app is not intended for public use.

We're all here suffering from the same problem:
We want to deliver a custom B2B Enterprise app in a multinational environment AND MDM is not available/suitable (think affiliates, contractors, BYOD, etc).
The proposed solution is the Apple Business Manager setup which only works for the Country in which the ABM account was setup (because of the DUNS registration).
Dear dev support, please help!

We're running into the exact same problem. We develop Enterprise apps for Fortune500 companies.
Our audience is employees, contractors and visitors of the companies.
As we serve employees and (known) visitors MDM does not provide an option
Public appstore distribution is opaque (apps or updates sometimes get refused because not for general public)
A solution would be to enable the ABM for Multinationals to allow to distribute globally and not only in the country they have a DUNS number.
Hope someone is able to figure this out.

Dear Apple,
We run into the same issue but with a multinational operating in 110 countries. No MDM and app gets rejected in public appstore because it is not intended for the general public.
MDM is not an option here as we have to find the first Enterprise in the world that has a global MDM live and rolled out globally for all BYOD employees, contractors and business affiliates.
How hard could it be to create a Multinational ABM account?
