I know that I can download an Android app and put it on my website for people to down load and install but is there a way to offer an Apple app without going through the Apple Store? I am creating an app for our church and I don’t want to make it public since it’s attendance based. Any suggestions are appreciated. ---

Hi @Les_Osborne, welcome to the Thunkable community! There are several different stores for Android apps but unfortunately the only choice for iOS is the App Store. As a potential work- around, perhaps you could add a password to the app and distribute this via email or something like that? It might also be a good way to let people know that your app exists in the first place? ---
