Hello,
so the general idea of the app is to track multiple mobile devices via GPS and show them on an other "admin" device on a map. The app should start as a prototype, but it is possible that the app will later be used in a company. Since I never set up the Apple account for a private company app, I wanted to ask for help/suggetions/experiences to set up the app/account correctly. So which kind of distribution option should be used?
My idea is to use the enterprise account, since, as far as I know, the app won't be reviewed by Apple, which is probably needed since the tracking apps should really just simply track the GPS locations and send them to a server (eventually/probably also including some kind of identification/login process). So I guess this functionality would not be enough to pass a review, right?
The problem with this approach is, that the tracked devices are from external companies/workers and as far as I know the enterprise distribution can only be used within one company.
Additional info: The app will be used by around 80 devices in the beginning, but could increase at some later point. As far as I know, the company does not have a MDM yet.
Besides the main question above, I wanted to ask if someone maybe already implemented something similar and maybe knows some important points which should be considered? Is a MDM needed? (If yes, what are the approximately costs?) Are there any legal points which have to be considered for such an tracking functionality?
Thanks in advance for any help!
