Same with an app that is uploaded to the iOS App Store.

This works for submissions to the App Store as well.

But this is true for any app on the App Store.

Right, and your device knows it came from the app store because of code signing.

In certain cases, such as when they come from the App Store. I believe other apps do not get this.

...if the app arrived on the device from the app store.

What apps do this? How do they distribute on iOS without the App Store?

Does Apple App Store do this?

jimkleiber | karma 2389 | avg karma 2.07 · | 2020-09-07 22:47:40

Just to clarify, what you're saying above applies to apps that are distributed through the iOS App Store, correct? In other words, all of that does not apply to websites that have no presence in the App Store and are just accessed through browsers, right?

I mean, I sure hope so :-D

Can you elaborate on this for someone not familiar with app store processes?

isodev | karma 3954 | avg karma 5.53 · | 2024-01-10 21:02:15

If it's a fully functional app, sure go ahead and upload it to the App Store. Otherwise folks can just bookmark it, right.

Assuming the published app matches the published source.

jamil7 | karma 3698 | avg karma 1.98 · | 2024-01-26 03:21:33

Yes, but this can already happen for an app in the App Store.

jrockway | karma 72069 | avg karma 3.74 · | 2021-09-26 13:00:15

Obviously you use your vendor's "app store".

How does this work, being able to be downloaded from the app store and all?

john_minsk | karma 412 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2019-12-19 12:15:35+00:00

Then it works as expected. It doesn't track you before you approve it. Which 99% of us do when opening an app.

foolfoolz | karma 2632 | avg karma 3.5 · | 2021-03-14 14:50:57+00:00

that’s not true. this applies to the app store

andreyvit | karma 872 | avg karma 8.63 · | 2011-12-23 07:57:03+00:00

Thanks. I guess this makes sense: I can migrate from the App Store later if I'd want to.

3dfan | karma 341 | avg karma 3.44 · | 2023-04-14 14:43:48

How does it work? Do you upload an SPA and then you download something that can be uploaded to the appstore?

How can your customers be sure you do not inject any faulty or malicious stuff into their apps?

that's not how it works, it's delivered via the app store
