Which apps are published through the App Store but are discoverable only with a direct link?
Correct Answer: B
Apple introducedUnlisted Appsto support distribution scenarios where organizations want apps available via the App Store but not publicly searchable. According to Apple Learning, these apps are hosted in the App Store infrastructure, but they can only be accessed through adirect linkprovided to users. This method is useful for apps that are intended for a limited audience (e.g., internal tools, event apps) but do not require the full privacy of Custom Apps or enterprise-only In-house Apps. Custom Apps are distributed privately through Apple Business Manager to specific organizations, while Public Apps are searchable by everyone. Unlisted is the only category that resides in the App Store yet is hidden from search, ensuring controlled but flexible distribution.
