This page: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/installing-managing-updating-and-removing-apps#Pin-the-version-of-an-app States the following: To find the EVID of an App Store app, use one of these procedures: If the device management service manages the app using declarative management, look for the external-version-id key in the StatusAppManagedList status item that the device reports to the service. If the device management service manages the app using MDM commands, look for the ExternalVersionIdentifier key in the Installed Application List command response that the device returns to the service. Use the Apps and books metadata for organizations API to look up the externalVersionId key in the Apps.Attributes for the app. Ask the app developer to provide the value. The first 2 require access to an MDM and the third in order to use the Appsand books metadata you need to turn your account into an MDM vendor developer account. So the final option is to "ask the app developer". I am the app developer and have no idea how to get this value. As a normal iOS developer is there no other way than to either contract an MDM or turn your account into an MDM vendor?

We are adding tap2pay as a payment method to our existing POS app. Our app is distributed business to business via Custom Apps. To get a production entitlement there's a checklist, in this checklist there are several sections. For Section 3, "Requirements for Enabling Tap to Pay on iPhone" there's a paragraph: If you distribute your app with programs such as Unlisted apps, Custom apps, or the Apple Developer Enterprise Program (ADEP) these requirements are applicable only if users are expected to accept terms and conditions using an Apple Account on the iPhone. We are using Custom Apps but its unclear what 'terms and conditions' refer to, does this refer to our own t&cs and not Apple's t&cs?

Our app is solely a Business to Business app. We have some client requirements for installing the test and production version of the app on the same device at the same time. What we would like to do is distribute the same app with different bundle ids. eg com.ourbundleid.appname com.ourbundleid.appname.test I know the guidelines specify to not do this under the 4.3 Spam section but this is a specific request from a number of our clients to have a duplicate version, given that its B2B is there a possibility for exemption for B2B apps? Thanks

We'll be releasing a B2B app next year, this app will be used as part of the employees job. In guidelines section 5.1.1 (V) "If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a login. If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app." A user does not create an account through the app. An account is created for every employee by the client. A user will login via their employee id. This account is controlled by the client. Any and all data generated by the employee is owned by the client as its business data and data must be linked against whoever created (eg to pay commission to employees for the sales they made) So an account exists but the guidelines say "If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app." Since a user cannot create an account themselves, the account deletion requirement isn't relevant here. Is my understanding of the guidelines correct? Or is there another section that would be applicable here?

We're looking at ways to distribute an app to our clients. Its a business to business app. For various reasons we'd like to avoid the Apple Business Manager if possible and distributing B2B apps with enterprise is against Apples policies. We were informed by one of our clients that its possible to distribute the app by signing it with a developer distribution cert (non-enterprise) and just pushing the ipa through an MDM. Is this possible and if so what's needed to accomplish this? If it's not possible are there any other options other than the ABM?
