For our project we need to work out whether we we want our audience to download from the App store, or if we want to install it for them in house. After discussion with our team, I believe our best option is to make it available for an audience in and outside of our workplace. This would indicate that we would require a company developer program. When you develop your own App you will need to make the same decision and choose a program that suits what you are doing.======
