Question: Is there a way to mitigate HyperThreading vulnerability via MDM versus only NVRAM arguments passed in Recovery?Answer: No, because if it's available via MDM, it's also available to a potential remote attacker.Question: When a macOS MDM device upgrades to Catalina, what requirements does the device need to have in order to be considered Supervised? Is User Approved MDM enough to be considered supervised?Answer: Ask at the Device Management lab on Friday.Question: Does User-approved MDM provide the ability to run MDM commands available only to supervised Macs?Answer: Ask at the Device Management lab on Friday.Question: One of the bootstrap token criteria states: The Mac must be enrolled in an MDM solution associated with Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager.Does this mean that this is for ONLY ABM-based MDM enrollments or does a UAMDM enrolled system whose MDM is also configured in DEP meet this requirement?Answer: Ask at the Device Management lab on Friday.Questio

Question:Apple's Software Update service is marked as deprecated for macOS Sierra. For environments that want to test Apple updates before distributing them to their Macs, what is Apple's recommended approach for managing Apple software updates?Answer:For upgrade installs, you'll still have the Apple Software Update service available in Server.app.For new installs, the Software Update service will not be listed in Server.app's GUI. However, the functionality is still present in the current DP release and is manageable by the serveradmin command line tool.For new installs, the recommended approach is to use Caching Server. If you want to have management options added to Caching Server, file bugs and feature requests.The current shipping Software Update service for Server.app 5.1.x or older will continue to work. Apple is going to continue to maintain the software update catalogs, so other third-party solutions that use the SUS catalogs should continue to work.Question:Since in-app purchases still cannot be man

System Integrity ProtectionQuestion:Will disabling SIP be available as a choices .XML at install time for the 10.11 OS? If not, what mechanism will be provided for automatic disabling of SIP for use with automated imaging processes for machines?Pain point: Not every environment will be able to access Internet Recovery. At the same time, straight cloning of existing disks is problematic.Answer:SIP is always off in the Recovery environment and the Installer environment. While booted from those environments, you will be able to make changes to a boot disk which is otherwise protected by SIP.SIP-protected files will still appear as restricted when listed with ls's -O, but they can be renamed, moved, deleted or changed.There will be a command line tool to disable SIP in the Recovery environment, separate from the current GUI tool. The GUI tool is in fact going to disappear in favor of the command line tool. This change will likely appear in Developer Beta 2 or Beta 3; check the release notes.Question:The /System/L

Well, I tried that technique but the problem is that even if I SHIFT click a bunch of UI controls, then things don't group but apply independently.What to do?

Today TestFlight is not allowing to add a group to a new build. When clicking on + icon in group column, the groups are disabled.

I am working on two applications that provide complementary functionality - one is a main app with authentication flow and the other handles additional functionalities within my service. I would like to publish these as separate apps on the App Store but allow them to share data through an App Group, specifically to enable sign-in state to carry across. The flow would be: Main app authenticates the user and saves an authentication token to the shared App Group container Second app launches and checks the container for this token. If present, it signs the user in automatically. In this way the Main app handles all login functionality which enables certain features in the other app(s) when logged in state is present. My questions are: Would this violate any App Store guidelines around app functionality distribution or data sharing? I intend to provide a technical rationale during review on why two apps are necessary. Would Apple allow such an implementation? What best practices should I follow

I just seen a discussion that had to do with App Groups. What’s the difference between App Groups and iCloud? Thanks, Dan Uff
