Can I Submit An App To App Store If It's Only Usable For 1 Person?

Question

I've seen Apple's documentation about Enterprise Program Apps (see: Distributing Apple Developer Enterprise Program Apps)

I have an app that is made only for a specific user, say a store owner. And so that app can only be used by such owner. It's called the MyStore Admin (something like that). Basically it's like a CMS, used for managing all the users of the whole project and the data and everything for administrator. It's under the development.

Furthermore, I have a client app for his business that is on the App Store already and is available for everyone.

So back to my main question, can I submit the admin app to the App Store even though it can only be used by 1 person? They can't use the app unless they have an admin account provided by the company.

Answer 1

Yes we can publish the app.

Create one demo user and provide those details in iTunes description as well. So technically everyone can use the app. I also seen lot of apps like that. Make sure that demo account can able to access every feature of app.

And also can check your app meets these guidelines https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#before-you-submit

Check this app for reference

Answer 2

In my opinion, if an app only used by few user, you should prepare a build & distribute the build over the air with tools like test flight or crashlytics.
