I am creating an OS-X App for our internal use only. We are a small group. Can I create a standalone App and distribute it internally without jumping through all the hoops of going through the App store?
Standalone OS-X App
You can create and distribute Mac apps without using the Mac App Store.
Start by archiving the project by choosing Product > Archive. You can find the archive in the Organizer window by choosing Window > Organizer.
Click the Distribute App button in the Organizer to distribute the app. For internal use choose Development as the distribution method. You could also choose Copy App as the distribution method and manually send the app to your group.
