Avoid shift effect on ManagedAppView inside a List
Hello, I tried to use the ManagedAppView component to display a list of apps, I have a text field above my list to make it searchable. The problem is that when the keyboard appear, all my ManagedAppView components shift half of their height up, inside there list cell, so they are only half visible with the rest of the cell blank. As the component is Apple Internal, I didn't find any solution to avoid that, is there any fix to have this component stays in place even when the keyboard appear ? I tried to replace the ManagedAppView by other components and the issue arise only with ManagedAppView.

Supporting development of ACME - Freshness code question
It seems like there are some "mixed messages" out there about what should be in OID 1.2.840.113635.100.8.11.1 in the attestation cert. Is it just a SHA256 hash of the nonce issued by the ACME server? The MDM profile yaml says: "In the attestation certificate the value of the freshness code OID matches the nonce specified by the ACME server via the ACME protocol." I'm hoping the difficulty we're seeing is down to the certificate being created once (and not again for 7 days). Otherwise, we're not decoding/understanding the OID's contents properly. Thanks.

Understanding allowedExternalIntelligenceWorkspaceIDs in MDM Payload – What ID is expected?
Hello, We're testing the new allowedExternalIntelligenceWorkspaceIDs key in the MDM Restrictions payload on supervised iPads. According to Apple's documentation, this key expects an "external integration workspace ID", but it's not clear what this specifically refers to. We've tried the following IDs individually (one at a time, as documentation says only one is supported currently): OpenAI Organization ID ChatGPT user email Apple ID used in ChatGPT Google ID used in ChatGPT login The profile installs correctly via MDM and the key is set, but we want to confirm: What exactly is considered a valid "external integration workspace ID" for this key? Is there a way to verify that the restriction is working as intended on the device (e.g. does it limit specific integrations or apps)? Is there an official list of services that currently support this? Any clarification from Apple or other developers with experience on this would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Review for a private app with per-App VPN
Hello, we are trying to publish an App in Appstore connect. The app will only be available through private distribution from our MDM with a Per-App VPN. The Login is not possible outside of the VPN. How do we get through the mandatory Review? The Guidelines say a Demo mode would help (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#app-completeness), but this would cost us time and resources, that are not available right now. Is there another way?

Declarative management application config not applying
Hello All, I am currently attempting to get application config working with enterprise apps but it seems as though the asset config is not applying at all. While the asset and application install correctly it does not seem that the config is read at all judging from the status message returned. "StatusItems" : { "app" : { "managed" : { "list" : [ { "name" : "apps", "config-state" : { "app-config-state" : { "state" : "unknown" } }, "identifier" : "app.identifier", "version" : "3.2", "short-version" : "3.2.0", "state" : "managed", "declaration-identifier" : "dec-identifier" } ] } } }, "Errors" : [ ] } The asset file being sent down is as follows: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Config 1</key> <string>Value 1</string> <key>Config 2</key> <string>Value 2</string> <key>Config 3</key> <string>Value 3</string> </dict> </plist> This is the config report being sent back by the device after everything has been fetched: "StatusItems" : { "management" : { "declarations" : { "activations" : [ { "active" : true, "identifier" : "group.activation.payload", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "56792E4AE25C3286640B45E6BD265AE97545B2B87F90A6355919FD8B2E3C3AB3" } ], "configurations" : [ { "active" : true, "identifier" : "app.install", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "34D7ACECAE16EE9EEAC0630FF2FF85524FFBB5BA3CB18CFB6296FBC860368C85" }, { "active" : true, "identifier" : "ios.policy.subscription.list", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "376913E11BE7D26EC745B3B68C6FA94C4FC061B1B736D143EBE0F12FF73ADFF8" } ], "assets" : [ { "active" : true, "identifier" : "app.config.reference", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "1CFBE30EB56309005F742D667B80242E6A3CDC08ED228D0BC5F87749C6BBAB77" } ], "management" : [ ] } }, "app" : { "managed" : { "list" : [ { "state" : "downloading", "declaration-identifier" : "app.install", "identifier" : "app.identifier", "name" : "apps", "config-state" : { "app-config-state" : { "state" : "unknown" } } } ] } } }, "Errors" : [ ] } Additional info would be useful, though a sysdiagnosis will be submitted to feedback as well. Config did apply correctly when sending down through Install application command

How can we check if LegacyAppConfigAssetReference applied in iOS 18.4?
I found a new Payload attribute LegacyAppConfigAssetReference in AppManaged introduced in iOs 18.4 beta.

How can we use this feature or check the configuration is applied? Thank you,

DisabledSystemSettings in 2025 year. Is there a method to hide individual items in System Settings that is not Deprecated?
Hi, Is there a method to hide individual items in System Settings that is not Deprecated? It needs some of the settings set and hidden for the end user. I found the DisabledSystemSettings key however it is marked as Deprecated and does not include all the new items, especially those related to Apple Intelligence. Is there any method other than “Restrictions” that does not hide and only set individual settings ? It needs to hide items in system settings :)

SystemPolicyAllFiles code signing requirement
Hello. I have an enterprise application that requires specific privileges to execute correctly on MacOS. One of these privileges is SystemPolicyAllFiles (aka Full Disk Access), as we use the endpoint security framework. When we distribute our application, we generate: A signed, notarized pkg consisting of our application binaries. An MDM-compatible .mobileconfig, which contains the SystemPolicyAllFiles setting. We expect our users to install both to get the application to function correctly. However, we have three environments we deploy to: Internal (local development on a developer's workstation), "development" (where features are integrated prior to release) and "production" (what our customers get). For local, our developers create an Apple account and use a Mac Development certificate for signing. They also generate their own embedded.provisionprofile and drop that into their local installation config. For development/production, we use our Developer ID certificate and Developer Installer certificate, with an endpoint security embedded.provisionprofile bound to those. However, when we generate a .mobileconfig, we need to include a CodeRequirement (CR) for SystemPolicyAllFiles. I've been retrieving this using codesign -dr - ... (i.e., the designated requirement aka DR). However, the designated requirement is very specific to the certificate, which is problematic specifically for local development, where each developer has their own Mac Development certificate. Here's what the relevant section of our generated mobileconfig looks like right now: &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;SystemPolicyAllFiles&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Allowed&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;key&gt;CodeRequirement&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;identifier "com.example.app and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = &lt;TEAMID&gt;&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Comment&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;app&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Identifier&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.exmple.app&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;IdentifierType&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;bundleID&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;StaticCode&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; That's in a format that works for our Developer ID cert, but the DR for the Mac Development certificate looks like: identifier "com.example.app" and anchor apple generic and certificate leaf[subject.CN] = "Mac Developer: John Doe (12ABC34567)" and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.1] /* exists */ Question: Is it possible to relax the code requirement so that it is generic enough to cover all Mac Developer certificates and Developer ID certificates we use? If not, is there a way to have one code requirement for our Mac Developer certificates and a separate CR for our Developer ID certificate? My use case is deploying a static "local" .mobileconfig using our internal company MDM (Apple Business Essentials) to all developer workstations so we don't have to have each developer manually configure their system for the software to run. Thanks! D

Undocumented requirements when installing enterprise applications with Declarative Management
Hello, I am currently attempting to use declarative management to install enterprise application, however I am running into errors. Initially the device was failing to unpac the initial manifest it downloaded. After pulling logs from the device it was revealed that the manifest must include the bundle-version for it to parse as valid. Adding this has allowed for the ipa to be fetched from the server however there is a secondary issue. The application is on the device but is unable to be opened due to the device being unable to validate its integreti. Any additional information would be useful. For completion the working manifest will be pasted below. It should be noted that the manifest below does work when requesting application installs through MDM commands. <***> <items type="array"> <dict> <assets type="array"> <dict> <kind type="string">software-package</kind> <url type="string">https://domain/web/mdm/ios/enterpriseipa/bundle.id</url> </dict> </assets> <key type="dict" name="metadata"> <bundle-identifier type="string">bundle.id</bundle-identifier> <kind type="string">software</kind> <subtitle type="string">app</subtitle> <title type="string">app</title> <bundle-version type="string">x.x.x</bundle-version> </key> </dict> </items> </***> </plist>

Can mdm contain configurations that are not supported by the system version?
Hi,team: I need to distribute an mdm configuration file containing the "ServiceManagementManagedLoginItems" service to a large number of company-supervised computers, where com.apple.servicemanagement only supports macOS 13.0+. However, I cannot effectively distinguish whether the device system where the mdm configuration file needs to be installed is greater than 13. Can I directly install the mdm configuration file on all devices? Will installing the mdm configuration file on devices less than 13 have any impact on the system or other configuration items in mdm? The description link of ServiceManagementManagedLoginItems is: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/servicemanagementmanagedloginitems

Mass deployment of certificates and marking it as trusted
Hello, I have a system, which is able to execute bash/zsh scripts on a set of machines. The default behaviour is that the signature of the script is checked on the machine, which is executing it, and in case if it is not signed properly, the system rejects the execution. An own certificate has to be created for signing the scripts, which means that the certificate has to be installed and marked as trusted on the target machines (which are executing the script). I've been using : "/usr/bin/security add-trusted-cert ..." command to install the certificate on the machines as trusted. Since macOS Big Sur, the above command was prompting the local user for admin credentials. To avoid this, Apple suggested to use the following command to temporarily disable and re-enable the confirmation dialog : 1.: /usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin allow 2.: /usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin admin Now with the release of macOS Sequoia, the above command : "/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin allow" does not work any more. It gives the following output : NO (-60005) I have the following questions : 1.: Could you please suggest an alternative way for IT administrators to install certificates on their machines, without any user confirmation? 2.: Could you please suggest how the same could be achieved using a bash/zsh script? In which context could the above commands : "/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin allow" and "/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin admin" still work? Thank you for your help in advance!

iOS/iPadOS Updates via MDM fail if the device has OS Deferral settings applied
We have noticed that if we apply forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates in Restrictions profile, it causes ScheduleOSUpdates to fail or go into an invalid state. For example: On my iOS device, we have set the forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates to 90 days which removed the latest iOS update iOS 18.2 from the Software Updates section on the device. Post this, if I schedule an update for iOS 18.2 using ScheduleOSUpdateCommand, it fails to download. If I schedule the same without forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates, the update works as expected. Please help what could be the reason for this behavior as forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates should not block ScheduleOSUpdates.

How to apply Managed App Configuration into the app installed via Declarative Device Management?
We want to set key-value pair (installation_token: xxxxx) into an app installed by MDM. Formerly we could set the key-value using Settings MDM command like this. <dict> <key>Command</key> <dict> <key>RequestType</key> <string>Settings</string> <key>Settings</key> <array> <dict> <key>Configuration</key> <dict> <key>installation_token</key> <string>xxxxxxx</string> </dict> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.cloudflare.cloudflareoneagent</string> <key>Item</key> <string>ApplicationConfiguration</string> </dict> </array> </dict> We can still use this for the apps installed withInstallApplication MDM command, however we cannot apply this configuration into the app using Declarative Device Management. When we try it, we got an error like this. <dict> <key>CommandUUID</key> <string>.............</string> <key>Settings</key> <array> <dict> <key>ErrorChain</key> <array> <dict> <key>ErrorCode</key> <integer>12008</integer> <key>ErrorDomain</key> <string>MDMErrorDomain</string> <key>LocalizedDescription</key> <string>Could not modify apps managed by Declarative Device Management.</string> <key>USEnglishDescription</key> <string>Could not modify apps managed by Declarative Device Management.</string> </dict> </array> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.cloudflare.cloudflareoneagent</string> <key>Item</key> <string>ApplicationConfiguration</string> <key>Status</key> <string>Error</string> </dict> </array> How can we work with managed application configuration with DDM?

Do MDM Certificates work after Apple Developer Account Expiry? Do they continue to work after renewal?
I have an issue with my MDM setup. The Push notification that installs and updates configuration profile in the device is no longer working. It was working before Apple developer account got expired we renewed our apple developer account and then retried and we got the device enrollment working just fine. Now when we are updating configuration profile and MDM server is supposed to notify the device using push notification, this is the part where its not working. Are the certs faulty now since the account was expired? Would just renewal of the Push cert work? Will I have to setup the certs all over again? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How to pass the review process for an app with MDM support?
Hello, We have implemented support for our app to work with MDM. Basically the app needs to read the custom configuration with UserDefaults.standard.dictionary(forKey: ‘com.apple.configuration.managed’) in order to be functional when in an MDM. The issue is that in the app review process we are told that: "Guideline 2.1.0 - Information Needed We are still unable to access the app's Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionality. Provide a demo MDM profile and corresponding login credentials that we can be used to access the MDM features and functionality." How do we create a demo MDM profile? Our app only needs to be passed configuration information and we have used Apple Configurator to create a profile, we have added information but it still doesn't work. Here is an example of the .mobileconfig file we have generated, but when we install it on our device, the app does not return any value using UserDefaults.standard.dictionary(forKey: ‘com.apple.configuration.managed’). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>PayloadContent</key> <array> <dict> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>App Name</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>com.xxx.yyy.TESTUUID</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>com.apple.ManagedAppConfiguration</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>TESTUUID</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>ManagedAppConfiguration</key> <dict> <key>MyFirstKey</key> <string>value1</string> <key>MySecondKey</key> <string>value2</string> </dict> </dict> </array> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>Test Profile</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>payloadid.TESTUUID2</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>Configuration</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>TESTUUID2</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </plist> On the other hand, about 3 weeks ago we requested the MDM capability for the app (https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/mdm-capability) but we have not received any response. We are at a bit of a loss.

Does App Store provisioning ever expire?
Howdy, I thought this would be an easy question, but it turns out it's really not! In fact, it flies in the face of how the Apple ecosystem is set up. That said, I still need an answer to be able to inform our customers of what their app update options are. The question: Does app store provisioning ever expire? Based on the very limited information I can find, it either expires in one year, two years, or never. Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the answer could be never, but I need to confirm this. The use case: Some of our customers are very old school. They tend to find a technical solution and stick with it. As such, they do not update apps regularly on their field iPads. They generally only update when they are forced to. They use MDM to deploy the app, and would set the MDM not to pull updated apps from the app store when available, essentially keeping the same version of the app in use for as much as 3 years or more. If this were to happen, I need to know if the provisioning for the old version of the app will ever expire if they get it from the app store. I know with an enterprise deployment of .ipa files via MDM, the app provisioning/certificate will expire after 1 or 2 years (can't remember which atm), but I can't find an answer about app store provisioning. Hopefully someone can provide me with an answer on this forum. Thanks in advance, Mapguy

Avoid shift effect on ManagedAppView inside a List
Hello, I tried to use the ManagedAppView component to display a list of apps, I have a text field above my list to make it searchable. The problem is that when the keyboard appear, all my ManagedAppView components shift half of their height up, inside there list cell, so they are only half visible with the rest of the cell blank. As the component is Apple Internal, I didn't find any solution to avoid that, is there any fix to have this component stays in place even when the keyboard appear ? I tried to replace the ManagedAppView by other components and the issue arise only with ManagedAppView.

Supporting development of ACME - Freshness code question
It seems like there are some "mixed messages" out there about what should be in OID 1.2.840.113635.100.8.11.1 in the attestation cert. Is it just a SHA256 hash of the nonce issued by the ACME server? The MDM profile yaml says: "In the attestation certificate the value of the freshness code OID matches the nonce specified by the ACME server via the ACME protocol." I'm hoping the difficulty we're seeing is down to the certificate being created once (and not again for 7 days). Otherwise, we're not decoding/understanding the OID's contents properly. Thanks.

Understanding allowedExternalIntelligenceWorkspaceIDs in MDM Payload – What ID is expected?
Hello, We're testing the new allowedExternalIntelligenceWorkspaceIDs key in the MDM Restrictions payload on supervised iPads. According to Apple's documentation, this key expects an "external integration workspace ID", but it's not clear what this specifically refers to. We've tried the following IDs individually (one at a time, as documentation says only one is supported currently): OpenAI Organization ID ChatGPT user email Apple ID used in ChatGPT Google ID used in ChatGPT login The profile installs correctly via MDM and the key is set, but we want to confirm: What exactly is considered a valid "external integration workspace ID" for this key? Is there a way to verify that the restriction is working as intended on the device (e.g. does it limit specific integrations or apps)? Is there an official list of services that currently support this? Any clarification from Apple or other developers with experience on this would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Review for a private app with per-App VPN
Hello, we are trying to publish an App in Appstore connect. The app will only be available through private distribution from our MDM with a Per-App VPN. The Login is not possible outside of the VPN. How do we get through the mandatory Review? The Guidelines say a Demo mode would help (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#app-completeness), but this would cost us time and resources, that are not available right now. Is there another way?

Is there a way for MDM to push a unique mTLS certificate w/ our Application?
Hi, It may be a stupid question, but we really wonder if there is a way for MDM to push a unique mTLS cert to our iOS application or if it can populate a client certificate in the iOS where our application can access it. Like browser app, how do browser mTLS certs get pushed? Thanks, Ying

Declarative management application config not applying
Hello All, I am currently attempting to get application config working with enterprise apps but it seems as though the asset config is not applying at all. While the asset and application install correctly it does not seem that the config is read at all judging from the status message returned. "StatusItems" : { "app" : { "managed" : { "list" : [ { "name" : "apps", "config-state" : { "app-config-state" : { "state" : "unknown" } }, "identifier" : "app.identifier", "version" : "3.2", "short-version" : "3.2.0", "state" : "managed", "declaration-identifier" : "dec-identifier" } ] } } }, "Errors" : [ ] } The asset file being sent down is as follows: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Config 1</key> <string>Value 1</string> <key>Config 2</key> <string>Value 2</string> <key>Config 3</key> <string>Value 3</string> </dict> </plist> This is the config report being sent back by the device after everything has been fetched: "StatusItems" : { "management" : { "declarations" : { "activations" : [ { "active" : true, "identifier" : "group.activation.payload", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "56792E4AE25C3286640B45E6BD265AE97545B2B87F90A6355919FD8B2E3C3AB3" } ], "configurations" : [ { "active" : true, "identifier" : "app.install", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "34D7ACECAE16EE9EEAC0630FF2FF85524FFBB5BA3CB18CFB6296FBC860368C85" }, { "active" : true, "identifier" : "ios.policy.subscription.list", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "376913E11BE7D26EC745B3B68C6FA94C4FC061B1B736D143EBE0F12FF73ADFF8" } ], "assets" : [ { "active" : true, "identifier" : "app.config.reference", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "1CFBE30EB56309005F742D667B80242E6A3CDC08ED228D0BC5F87749C6BBAB77" } ], "management" : [ ] } }, "app" : { "managed" : { "list" : [ { "state" : "downloading", "declaration-identifier" : "app.install", "identifier" : "app.identifier", "name" : "apps", "config-state" : { "app-config-state" : { "state" : "unknown" } } } ] } } }, "Errors" : [ ] } Additional info would be useful, though a sysdiagnosis will be submitted to feedback as well. Config did apply correctly when sending down through Install application command

How can we check if LegacyAppConfigAssetReference applied in iOS 18.4?

How can we use this feature or check the configuration is applied? Thank you,

DisabledSystemSettings in 2025 year. Is there a method to hide individual items in System Settings that is not Deprecated?
Hi, Is there a method to hide individual items in System Settings that is not Deprecated? It needs some of the settings set and hidden for the end user. I found the DisabledSystemSettings key however it is marked as Deprecated and does not include all the new items, especially those related to Apple Intelligence. Is there any method other than “Restrictions” that does not hide and only set individual settings ? It needs to hide items in system settings :)

Hello. I have an enterprise application that requires specific privileges to execute correctly on MacOS. One of these privileges is SystemPolicyAllFiles (aka Full Disk Access), as we use the endpoint security framework. When we distribute our application, we generate: A signed, notarized pkg consisting of our application binaries. An MDM-compatible .mobileconfig, which contains the SystemPolicyAllFiles setting. We expect our users to install both to get the application to function correctly. However, we have three environments we deploy to: Internal (local development on a developer's workstation), "development" (where features are integrated prior to release) and "production" (what our customers get). For local, our developers create an Apple account and use a Mac Development certificate for signing. They also generate their own embedded.provisionprofile and drop that into their local installation config. For development/production, we use our Developer ID certificate and Developer Installer certificate, with an endpoint security embedded.provisionprofile bound to those. However, when we generate a .mobileconfig, we need to include a CodeRequirement (CR) for SystemPolicyAllFiles. I've been retrieving this using codesign -dr - ... (i.e., the designated requirement aka DR). However, the designated requirement is very specific to the certificate, which is problematic specifically for local development, where each developer has their own Mac Development certificate. Here's what the relevant section of our generated mobileconfig looks like right now: &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;SystemPolicyAllFiles&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Allowed&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;key&gt;CodeRequirement&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;identifier "com.example.app and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = &lt;TEAMID&gt;&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Comment&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;app&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Identifier&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.exmple.app&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;IdentifierType&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;bundleID&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;StaticCode&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; That's in a format that works for our Developer ID cert, but the DR for the Mac Development certificate looks like: identifier "com.example.app" and anchor apple generic and certificate leaf[subject.CN] = "Mac Developer: John Doe (12ABC34567)" and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.1] /* exists */ Question: Is it possible to relax the code requirement so that it is generic enough to cover all Mac Developer certificates and Developer ID certificates we use? If not, is there a way to have one code requirement for our Mac Developer certificates and a separate CR for our Developer ID certificate? My use case is deploying a static "local" .mobileconfig using our internal company MDM (Apple Business Essentials) to all developer workstations so we don't have to have each developer manually configure their system for the software to run. Thanks! D

Undocumented requirements when installing enterprise applications with Declarative Management
Hello, I am currently attempting to use declarative management to install enterprise application, however I am running into errors. Initially the device was failing to unpac the initial manifest it downloaded. After pulling logs from the device it was revealed that the manifest must include the bundle-version for it to parse as valid. Adding this has allowed for the ipa to be fetched from the server however there is a secondary issue. The application is on the device but is unable to be opened due to the device being unable to validate its integreti. Any additional information would be useful. For completion the working manifest will be pasted below. It should be noted that the manifest below does work when requesting application installs through MDM commands. <***> <items type="array"> <dict> <assets type="array"> <dict> <kind type="string">software-package</kind> <url type="string">https://domain/web/mdm/ios/enterpriseipa/bundle.id</url> </dict> </assets> <key type="dict" name="metadata"> <bundle-identifier type="string">bundle.id</bundle-identifier> <kind type="string">software</kind> <subtitle type="string">app</subtitle> <title type="string">app</title> <bundle-version type="string">x.x.x</bundle-version> </key> </dict> </items> </***> </plist>

Can mdm contain configurations that are not supported by the system version?
Hi,team: I need to distribute an mdm configuration file containing the "ServiceManagementManagedLoginItems" service to a large number of company-supervised computers, where com.apple.servicemanagement only supports macOS 13.0+. However, I cannot effectively distinguish whether the device system where the mdm configuration file needs to be installed is greater than 13. Can I directly install the mdm configuration file on all devices? Will installing the mdm configuration file on devices less than 13 have any impact on the system or other configuration items in mdm? The description link of ServiceManagementManagedLoginItems is: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/servicemanagementmanagedloginitems

Mass deployment of certificates and marking it as trusted
Hello, I have a system, which is able to execute bash/zsh scripts on a set of machines. The default behaviour is that the signature of the script is checked on the machine, which is executing it, and in case if it is not signed properly, the system rejects the execution. An own certificate has to be created for signing the scripts, which means that the certificate has to be installed and marked as trusted on the target machines (which are executing the script). I've been using : "/usr/bin/security add-trusted-cert ..." command to install the certificate on the machines as trusted. Since macOS Big Sur, the above command was prompting the local user for admin credentials. To avoid this, Apple suggested to use the following command to temporarily disable and re-enable the confirmation dialog : 1.: /usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin allow 2.: /usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin admin Now with the release of macOS Sequoia, the above command : "/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin allow" does not work any more. It gives the following output : NO (-60005) I have the following questions : 1.: Could you please suggest an alternative way for IT administrators to install certificates on their machines, without any user confirmation? 2.: Could you please suggest how the same could be achieved using a bash/zsh script? In which context could the above commands : "/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin allow" and "/usr/bin/security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin admin" still work? Thank you for your help in advance!

iOS/iPadOS Updates via MDM fail if the device has OS Deferral settings applied
We have noticed that if we apply forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates in Restrictions profile, it causes ScheduleOSUpdates to fail or go into an invalid state. For example: On my iOS device, we have set the forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates to 90 days which removed the latest iOS update iOS 18.2 from the Software Updates section on the device. Post this, if I schedule an update for iOS 18.2 using ScheduleOSUpdateCommand, it fails to download. If I schedule the same without forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates, the update works as expected. Please help what could be the reason for this behavior as forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates should not block ScheduleOSUpdates.

How to apply Managed App Configuration into the app installed via Declarative Device Management?
We want to set key-value pair (installation_token: xxxxx) into an app installed by MDM. Formerly we could set the key-value using Settings MDM command like this. <dict> <key>Command</key> <dict> <key>RequestType</key> <string>Settings</string> <key>Settings</key> <array> <dict> <key>Configuration</key> <dict> <key>installation_token</key> <string>xxxxxxx</string> </dict> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.cloudflare.cloudflareoneagent</string> <key>Item</key> <string>ApplicationConfiguration</string> </dict> </array> </dict> We can still use this for the apps installed withInstallApplication MDM command, however we cannot apply this configuration into the app using Declarative Device Management. When we try it, we got an error like this. <dict> <key>CommandUUID</key> <string>.............</string> <key>Settings</key> <array> <dict> <key>ErrorChain</key> <array> <dict> <key>ErrorCode</key> <integer>12008</integer> <key>ErrorDomain</key> <string>MDMErrorDomain</string> <key>LocalizedDescription</key> <string>Could not modify apps managed by Declarative Device Management.</string> <key>USEnglishDescription</key> <string>Could not modify apps managed by Declarative Device Management.</string> </dict> </array> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.cloudflare.cloudflareoneagent</string> <key>Item</key> <string>ApplicationConfiguration</string> <key>Status</key> <string>Error</string> </dict> </array> How can we work with managed application configuration with DDM?

Do MDM Certificates work after Apple Developer Account Expiry? Do they continue to work after renewal?
I have an issue with my MDM setup. The Push notification that installs and updates configuration profile in the device is no longer working. It was working before Apple developer account got expired we renewed our apple developer account and then retried and we got the device enrollment working just fine. Now when we are updating configuration profile and MDM server is supposed to notify the device using push notification, this is the part where its not working. Are the certs faulty now since the account was expired? Would just renewal of the Push cert work? Will I have to setup the certs all over again? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How to pass the review process for an app with MDM support?
Hello, We have implemented support for our app to work with MDM. Basically the app needs to read the custom configuration with UserDefaults.standard.dictionary(forKey: ‘com.apple.configuration.managed’) in order to be functional when in an MDM. The issue is that in the app review process we are told that: "Guideline 2.1.0 - Information Needed We are still unable to access the app's Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionality. Provide a demo MDM profile and corresponding login credentials that we can be used to access the MDM features and functionality." How do we create a demo MDM profile? Our app only needs to be passed configuration information and we have used Apple Configurator to create a profile, we have added information but it still doesn't work. Here is an example of the .mobileconfig file we have generated, but when we install it on our device, the app does not return any value using UserDefaults.standard.dictionary(forKey: ‘com.apple.configuration.managed’). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>PayloadContent</key> <array> <dict> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>App Name</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>com.xxx.yyy.TESTUUID</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>com.apple.ManagedAppConfiguration</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>TESTUUID</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>ManagedAppConfiguration</key> <dict> <key>MyFirstKey</key> <string>value1</string> <key>MySecondKey</key> <string>value2</string> </dict> </dict> </array> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>Test Profile</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>payloadid.TESTUUID2</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>Configuration</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>TESTUUID2</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </plist> On the other hand, about 3 weeks ago we requested the MDM capability for the app (https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/mdm-capability) but we have not received any response. We are at a bit of a loss.

Does App Store provisioning ever expire?
Howdy, I thought this would be an easy question, but it turns out it's really not! In fact, it flies in the face of how the Apple ecosystem is set up. That said, I still need an answer to be able to inform our customers of what their app update options are. The question: Does app store provisioning ever expire? Based on the very limited information I can find, it either expires in one year, two years, or never. Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the answer could be never, but I need to confirm this. The use case: Some of our customers are very old school. They tend to find a technical solution and stick with it. As such, they do not update apps regularly on their field iPads. They generally only update when they are forced to. They use MDM to deploy the app, and would set the MDM not to pull updated apps from the app store when available, essentially keeping the same version of the app in use for as much as 3 years or more. If this were to happen, I need to know if the provisioning for the old version of the app will ever expire if they get it from the app store. I know with an enterprise deployment of .ipa files via MDM, the app provisioning/certificate will expire after 1 or 2 years (can't remember which atm), but I can't find an answer about app store provisioning. Hopefully someone can provide me with an answer on this forum. Thanks in advance, Mapguy
