I am trying to determine if, as a government organization, we need to have a DUNS. From the Apple site: "I am trying to determine if, as a government organization, we need to have a DUNS." https://developer.apple.com/support/D-U-N-S/How do I go about enrolling without a DUNS?

What happens to an app when the enterprise provisioning profile that's it's built with expires?A client I'm working for wants to use their enterprise account to provide an app to their remote staff. These are BYOD devices, and they don't want to fully manage them, just install and maintain this app (and possibly others but for now just a sigle app.)Does the app stop working when the provisioning profile it's built with expires? If not, what does happen?If it does stop working, what's the best practice for getting an updated app into remote staff's hands prior to the expiry of the provisioning profile?And can we use MDM to simply deliver and update the enterprise app on remote staff's devices without taking over other aspects of managing their iDevices?About the only other thing we might want MDM for is managing proxy settings, and possibly setting up a VPN.

I am trying to validate an archive with the hopes of deploying it as an In-house Adhoc app. I can build and run the app without issue on test decvices however when trying to validate the archive I get the following error:_____________Failed to locate or generate matching signing assets:Permissions failure- Your account does not have permission to create profiles_____________I have reimported my Developer Profile as it suggests but still no luck. I am guessing (and hoping) that this is something simple but i am not sure where to look next. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So recently I've downloaded this app called "Setbeat" and trusted their enterprise. The app has been working for about a week and then a popup comes up when I open the application stating "Untrusted Enterprise Developer". Seeing this, I went back to Settings>General>Device Management and pressed on my enterprise. There is a blue button that says "Verify App" and under, it states that Setbeat is not verified. I pressed on the verify button and a little verifying loading bar comes up for about half a second before it disappears. To my suprise, the app is still unverified and I still cannot use it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello,I'm unable to bring the new Apple TV 4k into the supervised mode using a local organization (no MDM server).Steps that I've done:Configured the Apple TV and connected them to WIFI manually.Paired the Apple TV with the Mac.Now the Apple TV appears in the Configurator 2Ok, I choose "prepare".Manual configurationSupervised device + allow device to pair with other computersNo MDMChoose my organizationAnd confirm with prepareNow the following message appears (free translation from German):Configurator was unable to execute the requested action because "Apple TV" has been already prepared.Press "Delete" to delete the device and prepare again. All settings are deleted. This can't be undo.So I confirm with delete.And now we're in the worse situation:The Configurator tells me only "Waiting for device" while the Apple TV shows the setup assistance.How should the Mac find the Apple TV? Because during the reset he has lost all WIFI settings.Has anyone a idea how to bring the Apple TV 4k into the superviced mode?Thanks and regards,Martin

Is it possible to renew distribution certificate, without any coder involved ?Our distribution certificat expires in two days. At the moment there are no tech people in the company.How can I renew the certificate ?Thanks

Hi all. I hope that someone is able to provide some advice:We create custom apps for various businesses and their partners. We can't distribute these apps on the app store as they're custom B2B apps. We don't like the Enterprise program user experience (manually trusting the developer on the phone) for the end users it's just horrible UX, and most of our clients don't use MDM.So, we're left with one option, which is to get our clients to sign up for Apple Business Manager, and have the app distributed using redeemable codes.The problem though is that most of our clients have users in various different countires. If a client from USA signs up for Apple Business Manager and generates redeemable codes for the app we built for them, then those codes will only be redeemable by those with USA Apple IDs.Therefore a client would need to create separate Apple Business Manager accounts in each country where they have employees, so they can give redeemable codes to those people.But, it's impossible to create an Apple Business Manager account if you don't have a DUNS number, and most businesses only have a DUNS number for the country where their headquarters are. Total catch 22 situation.It's therefore funtionally impossible to distribute apps via Apple Business Manager using redeemable codes for a company that has employees in more than one country. Most businesses have MDM for their corporate devices, but asking people to enroll their personal device on a company MDM is madness - they'll simply never do it, and given that business are moving more and more towards 'Bring your own device' - this issue seems like a really annoying oversight by Apple.It would solve this issue if Apple would allow redeemable codes to be redeemed in any country where the app is available.Does anyone have any advice, or is there sometihng we're missing here?

With iOS 14 devices we can see that Many MDM Commands Fails with error " Couldn’t communicate with a helper application." . This Error is more frequent in InstallApplication , InstallProfile command , but other MDM commads also face the same issue. I have attach sample response from some devices. We have seen this error in previous version of iOS but with iOS 14 these are very frequent.

Is it possible to hide the Phone app on supervised iPhones? I am trying to understand this sentence from Apple documentation: "Show or Hide apps: MDM can configure exactly which apps can be used. All built-in and third-party apps can be hidden with the exception of Phone (on iPhone only) and Settings." Is this saying that Phone cannot be hidden at all? Or that it can only be hidden on iPhones? Thank you!

MacOS ver. Monterey 12.1 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/mdm A device management profile is transmitted to the device with reference to the above link. Both iOS and iPadOS devices operate normally in general enroll and DEP enroll. In MacOS, Enroll operates normally in Userchannels. This time, I purchased a MacMini device equipped with Apple Silicon and tried to test DEP registration, but an error occurs as follows. "unable to decrypt encrypted profile" Should Mac's DEP registration use a different payload profile method? Let me know if you know something to refer to. thank you.
