Notes from Building, Signing, and Distribution lab (Wednesday, June 24th, 2020)

Question: Will Apple offer In-App Purchase via VPP / Apple Business Manager?

Answer: No, Apple will not be offering that.


Question: Will the VPP redownload call time out ( <MDM Client Error 72> ) be fixed for macOS devices running Big Sur?

Answer: We're not familiar with this one, can you check back with us again in the next available lab on Friday?


Question: Will Apple offer the ability to deploy iOS / iPad OS apps via VPP on macOS Big Sur?

Answer: Yes, on Macs running Apple Silicon (assuming the MDM vendor supports it.)

Thank you @rtrouton for asking about the VPP redownload error. I'm still not 100% sure if that is the same error that means VPP-distributed apps never get updated, but I hope this raises awareness.
