How are VertiGIS Studio Mobile apps deployed and distributed?

For apps to be available in VertiGIS Studio Go, they can be stored as items in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS.  Custom, native apps can be deployed and distributed in a variety of ways, however, before you can build an app, you will need the following: 

• Android: A KeyStore File, a KeyStore File Password, a Private Key Password and a KeyStore Alias. 
• iOS: A Provisioning File, a P12 File, and a P12 Password. The provisioning file also contains the App-ID you must use when you enter information in App Settings. 
• Windows: A PFX File and a PFX File Password.

For distributing a custom, native application, here are a few examples of supported options:  

• Android (.apk)  
  • Sideload the file to devices using a USB cable. 
  • Host it as a link in a web page internally.
  • Submit it as an app to the Google Play Store. 
• iOS (.ipa)
  • Distribute the file via your organization's developer's account.
  • Provision it using your organizations Mobile Device Management (MDM) software. 
  • Submit it as an app to the Apple App Store. 
• Windows (.zip, including .appxbundle file and a dependencies folder) 
  • Put the file on a shared drive for users to copy to their own devices.
  • Host the file as a link in a web page internally. 
  • Submit the app to the Windows Store.
  • Manage it with your corporate Software Center.
