Distributing the same iOS app via multiple methods

I would like to deploy an in-house app via both the "Install Automatically/Prompt Users to Install" and Self Service methods. Some devices should get the app automatically. Some should have the option in Self Service.

I have the app in the JSS and scoped appropriately for auto-install I then tried to create a second instance of the app for scoping to Self Service, but the JSS complained that "An app with the filename "APP-NAME.ipa" already exists."

This would also be valuable for App-Store apps. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks,
-Dan

You can't have two apps with the same display name but when you add it it does let you change that.

Can you add it twice with different display names?

Good call. If I change the file name of the .ipa things are groovy. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the easiest to overlook.

Thanks @davidacland!
