I need to develop an application for a Client who later wish to install this app, customize iPad wallpaper and some other stuff to suit to business needs and send it to his Customers.
我需要为一个后来想要安装这个应用的客户开发一个应用程序,定制iPad墙纸和其他一些适合商业需要的东西,并将它发送给他的客户。
The tricky part is I can not suggest him to distribute this application via Adhoc Distribution (Using Normal 100 device limitation account) as He says apple itself is one of their potential customers.
棘手的是,我不能建议他通过特别分配(使用正常的100设备限制账户)来分配这个应用程序,因为他说苹果本身就是他们的潜在客户之一。
Enterprise Distribution isn't required for reasons that His company does not entitles for this developer program.
不需要企业发行,因为他的公司没有为这个开发程序授权。
Now my question is If I go for B2B distribution model - The end user are essentially not the one who will download the application rather my client himself will do that and give them preinstalled application on iPad.
现在我的问题是,如果我使用B2B分发模型——最终用户本质上不是下载应用程序的人,而是我的客户自己会这样做,并在iPad上给他们预装应用程序。
What options do I have here ? Any help suggestion will be appreciated. I have already gone through the various volume Purchase programs documentation but I could not figure out if B2B distribution exactly matches my requirement or not.
我有什么选择?如有任何帮助建议,我们将不胜感激。我已经查阅了各种批量购买程序的文档,但是我不知道B2B分发版是否完全符合我的需求。

So, let's see if I'm understanding this:
让我们看看我是否理解了这个:
- You are making an app for someone else. We'll call you the 'developer'.
- 你正在为别人做一个应用。我们叫你“开发者”。
- Your customer is paying you to build that app. We'll call them the 'publisher'.
- 你的客户付钱给你开发这个应用,我们称之为“出版商”。
- The publisher will not be selling to the public, they will instead be installing the app on devices, configuring them and then selling the entire solution (i.e. device and pre-installed app) to their customers (we'll call them 'end users').
- 发布者不会向公众出售,而是在设备上安装应用程序,对其进行配置,然后将整个解决方案(即设备和预装应用)卖给客户(我们称之为“终端用户”)。
Yes? And since one of the publisher's potential end users is Apple, you have a heightened sense of compliance with the rules (which you should be doing anyway).
是吗?既然苹果是出版商的潜在最终用户之一,你就会有一种更加遵守规则的感觉(无论如何你都应该这么做)。
So in this case, the publisher distributes the app via the B2B model and makes themselves the party it is allowed to be sold to, restricting the availability to those devices. This will require the publisher to create an Apple ID to manage their VPP participation.
因此,在这种情况下,发布者通过B2B模式发布应用程序,并使自己成为允许销售的对象,从而限制了这些设备的可用性。这将要求发布者创建一个Apple ID来管理他们的VPP参与。
Now, that's assuming the end users aren't going to be using these iPads for other functions. If they are, then you'd need to allow those users direct access and perhaps re-figure the business model a bit. That would also allow the end-users to re-install the app if they needed to, etc...
现在,假设终端用户不打算用这些ipad做其他的功能。如果它们是,那么您需要允许这些用户直接访问,并可能重新设计业务模型。这也将允许终端用户重新安装应用程序,如果他们需要的话,等等……
