How can I distribute an ios app without publishing it on the store? it’s an app for parents of a school and it’s unthinkable to have it installed by linking a day’s life in case there is someone who would publish it in my name? ---

Which non-profit do you work for @Comitato_Genitori_Ma? I would advise that you look at @darren’s cost benefit analysis to work out your break even point. > [@I love Thunkable classic and wish ThunkableX to be so well developed and progressing](http://community.thunkable.com/t/i-love-thunkable-classic-and-wish-thunkablex-to-be-so-well-developed-and-progressing/61166/2): > > Hi @Bernie, Thanks for your feedback. We’re constantly adding new features to Thunkable X and 2019 is going to be even bigger and better. The great thing is that you can still enjoy all the features of Thunkable X with your existing free membership. @darren has done a great cost-benefit analysis in his video here: At the moment, existing extensions aren’t compatible with Thunkable X but I’d be interested to hear which ones you want to use and what sort of app your are building at the moment. … ---
