how to distribute app to be installed directly without going to app store

Hi,


I am trying to distribute the an app for global use and I am looking at put a link on the website for the users to install the app directly without going to app store.


I have a normal developer's account and when I built the app for distribution and upload the .ipa bundle and a manifest .plist file to the server, it simply said the app can not be downloaded. This method only worked when I tested it on my registered test devices on my account.


Can anyone help me how can I do this? Do I necesserily need an Enterprise developer's account so that I do not have to provide the UDID for each device I want to use?


thanks

Enterprise accounts are for companies that want to distribute apps to their employees for internal use. There is no Apple-approved way of distributing an app for general public use outside of the App Store.
