Ipa file -

We have some external IOS app developers who have made a app for IOS (IPA package). They have send the IPA file to me, and they have signed it with their own developer certificate - and say that we must sign it with our own, before we can deploy it.


Should we as company just sign up for a developer app and then re-sign it or what must be used ? It must be noticed, the App must not be on "app store". It is a local company app that we want to deploy to company phones etc, so outside App store




Another note. I tried to put the Ipa on a phone through apple configurator 2. It install, but afterwards the icon stay "grey" - and when trying to click on it, the error comes that the application cannot be installed. Must the app not work through apple configurationer with manual installation ? - or has this also something to do with the developer signing etc ?

Or should we as company sign up for an enterprise account, to be able to sign packages from different external partners that apply Ipa packages to us

Is the app for your company to distribute to it's employees?


If so, then you would need a Developer Enterprise Program account.
