Hello world! First post here.
Developing my first app. It primarily targets supervised and MDM managed devices. A few questions:
- For supervised devices, is serial number available? I want to get the number and use it for app auto activation
- Is MDM required for supervised devices? Or, as long as a device is enrolled through Apple Business Manager?
- Which capacity shall I request for the app?
Thanks so much!
1- For supervised devices, is serial number available?
Available programmatically? No.
Supervision doesn’t change the story here. The same is true for unmanaged, managed, and supervised devices.
The serial number is available via MDM, so if your device is managed and your MDM system is sufficiently flexible you can create your own infrastructure that gets the serial number from MDM and then pushes it down to the device via managed app configuration [1].
2- Is MDM required for supervised devices?
No. You can supervise a device directly using Apple Configurator.
However, the majority of supervised devices are enrolled in MDM because managing them otherwise is a hassle.
3- Which capacity shall I request for the app?
I don’t understand this question.
Share and Enjoy

[1] Use ManagedApp framework on modern systems, or the legacy managed app configuration on older ones.
