I'm about to start a new company and planning to create a corporate developer account. I know AppStore automatically displays the company's legal name as the seller name like ABC LLC, XYZ Corportation, etc. What I wonder is if it is possible to display only the company name by omitting the entity type like "ABC" or "XYZ". Here an example: https://ibb.co/ZHGb1dp I don't if it is something that I should do during account creation or requesting a DUNS number.

Hello, We are implementing Apple Business Manager in our organization. Previously, we had personal Apple accounts with our domain, and when synchronizing our Apple Business Manager account with Azure AD, we identified several conflicting accounts. The system suggested notifying users to switch from their personal accounts. Is there a way to transfer these accounts to Apple Business Manager without the need for a switch? If not, what are the recommendations for our scenario? We appreciate the assistance!

Hello! We already have a public app on the AppStore. And we are trying to create another app to distribute to organizations privately. Now, we did some digging and have some queries about the whole process which are as follows: What type of account do we need as the developer team, meaning which programs we need to enroll to and what type of account does our customer organization need to use the app, privately? We do not have a hundred or more employees which is an eligibility criterion for enrollment in the Enterprise Program. How can we proceed to distribute apps to organizations privately with out situation? Do the customer organizations need Enterprise account for each app we publish? Thanks!

We are creating our own server for MDM, we followed apple suggested approach with following link [https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/deployment/dm055] After uploading .pem file in ABM portal, new server token is generating but my question is where we need keep that server token(.P7M) in our servers...is there any specific path we have...if we gone through apple documents they are suggesting to follow vendor documentation but in my case we did't take any third party server's...so we don't have any vendor document. Can you please help me to achieve this scenario.

Having trouble in signing in to iCloud when a managed supervised iPhone is restricted with few apps using “allowListedAppBundleIDs” restrictions key. Only iPhone has this trouble, this issue is not reproducible in iPad. Even after entering the Apple ID and password, the account seems to be not logged in. Have attached screenshots for reference. Tested device iOS Version : 17.1 Kindly explain this behaviour. Feedback ID : #FB13318247 - Sysdiagnose logs attached here.

The iphone info: OsVersion: iOS 15 Device model: iphone 12 Steps: Install the MDM profile on the iphone. The server pushes the command to install the webclip profile through MDM (the profile is set to not be manually removable). After installing the webclip profile, the webclip icon will appear on the Home Screen of the phone screen. When the webclip is no longer used, remove the webclip profile through MDM. The problem occurs in step 4, the webclip profile is deleted, but the webclip icon still exists on the home screen of the mobile phone, and cannot be removed by tools such as Apple Configurator2. So what causes this phenomenon and how to fix?

We have been trying to renew Apple Developer Enterprise Program,Apple gives a hint "Thank you for your request to renew your membership in the Apple Developer Enterprise Program"This state has been half a month, our Apple Developer Enterprise Program will Expire in 5 days.After expiration, it will seriously affect our company's business.

Are the codes generated by the business portal always limited to the country in which the DUMS code is registered? I have clients who have only one office and therefore can request only one DUMS code but have employees in various countries. How can I generate codes, from the business portal, valid for all countries? Has it become possible to do this? What alternatives can I evaluate for distributing a private app?

My app was set to Private and Organization ID was correct. Why my app isn't show on Custom App menu. And when I click "Get Started" button on Custom App, nothing happen. My App Store ID and Apple Business Manager ID are not of the same account.

Hi everyone, We have developed an application for a large company and are distributing it using a business account. We have codes that we give to users. The problem is that we released an update for the same app, but users aren't receiving the update automatically as it should be. It's not working. So, we are giving new codes to users as if they are installing a fresh version. We have contacted Apple, but we haven't received any answers (the suppport its a nightmare mostly people just saying they dont have acess to our ticket case) Has anyone else experienced this problem? And does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.

I opened my account as a personal account. Then I decided to switch to the company account without publishing anything. I sent all the application documents. He also stated that he wanted to talk by phone. However, the problem is that we do not support your language during the meeting, so you inform yourself to hire a translator. Ok I did this too! While my translator is talking to Apple customer service, he says we need to talk to the account owner again, okay but he doesn't know my language to talk to me, and he wants to talk to me? So how will this happen? I paid $200 to my translator..

Hi, I'm trying to confirm if there is an API that can be used to interrogate ABM for device info? It holds our enterprise devices and so want to regularly extract a list of all devices along with associated information, and import these into a corporate system. It's unclear from the documentation if this can be done. This is the closest I can find but implies it must be done from within another (developed) app...? TIA.

When we specified a "Unlisted app" by InstallApplication(MDM command), the response state is NeedsRedemption.

We currently have a Developer Account registered as an organisation and publish our app to App Store. One of our customers want our App to be part of their MDM, so that they can distribute it to their employees without App Store. Questions: What are the steps to make our App available to Client's MDM solutions like Microsoft Intune ? Will this be achieved by having Apple Developer Program (Account) or any other steps are involved ? Will the solution be applicable to multiple Clients using their own different MDM solutions ?

Problem Description: We are using manageVPPLicensesByAdamIdSrv API for assigning licenses for serial numbers. We get "Internal error - 9603" response for this API when assigning the API for valid adamID of an app. When using the same API other apps, this issue doesn't occur. AdamID: 720111835. The license is assigning properly for the same app in VPP License Management 2.0.0 + - Associate Assets API. Currently, we will not able to the new API. We overcame this issue by creating a new location token in the same organization and purchasing the same app in it and using it to assign the license to device for the same app which is successful. Kindly help us with this issue.
