I would say Apple going out of business is unlikely long term! By the way: In-house developed apps are not depending on Apples App store.

This is true. Apple has reached a Microsoft level, where it would take an act of god for the business to completely go under at this point. If it does go out of business, it will be gradually over the course of many years.

But they do depend on Apple's signing of the app before installation on the phone, right?

For development, Apple signs a certificate that lets you sign your own binaries, plus a provisioning profile that the phone uses to determine if it can run the app.

Presumably for the corporate version, they just give you a certificate you can use to sign, and one that you put on company phones so they're willing to run your software.
