Hello,

I'm trying to develop a server side solution to remotely control permissions in and iOS device, on demand.

From what I have read it is possible using the MDM protocol and MDM push notifications, which allow my server to remotely change restrictions in an iOS device, for example, or even lock the device, on demand.

I know that the iOS device must install an MDM configuration profile to be able to be remotely managed. I also know that the server must have an APNS certificate with MDM permissions.

My question is:

- do I have to be an MDM vendor and/or join the Apple Developer Enterprise Program in order to generate the APNS certificate with MDM permissions ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Boost

I am also interested in the answer to this question. From what I read it seems that you need to be a MDM vendor but it's not completely clear. Thanks.

You don't need to be a vendor, I used identity.apple.com to generate my APNS certificate. We use the Enterprise developer account, I would guess that it's required, but try logging in and see what happens. I am doing exactly what you're looking to with just the Enterprise account and the needed hardware.
