How to Publish an App Publicly on the App Store When Apple Suggests Private Distribution?

We are trying to publish an app on the public App Store that is intended for internal use by our organization. The app does not have a public registration process—accounts are created internally by our organization's system, and users simply sign in.

Apple has rejected the app, suggesting to use private distribution methods like Apple Business Manager or the Apple Developer Enterprise Program. However, we would prefer to distribute the app publicly via the App Store for easier access and updates.

Has anyone successfully published a public-facing app without a registration feature where account creation is managed internally? Are there any specific strategies or additional features we should add to meet Apple’s requirements while keeping our internal account creation process?

Thank you for your insights!

Thank you for your post. We've begun investigating this issue but we've been unable to locate your app submission to provide further assistance. Can you provide the name and App ID associated with the app? These can be found in App Store Connect in the App Information tab.

No chance. Just do what they say.

See unlisted app destribution, by doing this, your app won't be shown on App Store except who has the link of your app.
