Ahead of schedule — the full distribution system is running
We put a date on it — the 5th of July. It's the 4th, and the system is running: we can already provision, in full. Two routes below: on the left, the design we intended — corporate identity through Apple Business Manager and Android Enterprise; on the right, the private channels live today. We ended up blending the two, and the blend does the whole job: full provisioning for 90 days, with renewals, on TestFlight and Firebase. A seat granted today doesn't lapse.
What we'll say about the plumbing
Deliberately little. Both routes are wired; the mix will keep shifting as enterprise verifications clear, and none of that shifting is visible from a seat. What doesn't move: every install is invited, every account belongs to an organization, every seat is counted — and provisioning holds for 90 days, renewed before the window closes.
The desktop — the big one
The macOS desktop app is the largest piece of the system, and it isn't in distribution yet — when to publish it is now a decision, not a build. It ships the way everything else does — to your organization, by invite, no public download — and it will get its own write-up.
One dashboard, four products
Behind the invites sits the dashboard for your organization: your appointed people send invitations, revoke pending ones, remove members — across the four products as they land: macOS, iOS, Android, and Telegram channels. One seat list, every surface. A sneak peek, from a test organization:
The seats available right now
| Channel | Seats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone — TestFlight | 10,000 | devices; builds hold 90 days, renewed on cadence |
| Android — Firebase | 500 | named testers, in per-org groups of up to 200 |
| Telegram — channels | per org | live today, invite-gated like everything else |
| Mac — desktop app | — | in the works; by invite when it ships |
Those are the channels' honest ceilings — Apple's full external allotment on one side, Firebase's on the other — and they are nowhere near occupied. Early organizations get their block reserved against them, which is why the waitlist asks for a company name, not just an email.
What the 5th of July changes
The original plan put full availability at 30 September. That estimate is already beaten: the macOS app is fully developed, the distribution system is running, and what remains is contracts and a publish date. Week by week we will pull the deadline forward — for now, we are tuning all the systems to real professional use.
Coming soon: a system overview of the macOS management app, and use cases for maps and live-stream video surveillance — the business outcomes this is built for, among a multitude of other use cases. If your company isn't on the waitlist, now is the moment.
