Hello!

I'm currently working on the iOS app for an armory management system. The function of this system is basically to manage the armory of a police station. All weapons in the armory are tagged with RFID tags and with the help of a scanner, the system keeps track of weapons taken in and out of the armory. The app also can be used to take inventory.

This app cannot be used by the general public. It has an authentication flow and the only users will be law enforcement officers.

Due to the nature of this app, it will have iconography and mentions of guns/weapons within the app.

My question is, will that affect the app from getting accepted into the App Store? I've noticed there are apps like iGun Pro are available in the App Store but they're under Gaming.

Can a normal app such as this be available in the App Store or will we have to go with an enterprise account and distribute the app outside of the App Store?

Hi, If I can ask, what is the benefit of getting this app on the app store versus an inhouse distribution? From the sounds of it, this would benefit more from an Ad Hoc or Enterprise distribution, especially since you mentioned it "Cannot be used by the general public". Let me know if I am missing something on why you feel you need it distributed via the app store, and I can try to help out some more.
