I'd like to write a MacOS App that makes use of the ASAM functonality as described here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/autonomoussingleappmode
I have tried to use the example with Safari, and have enrolled a Mac with MDM and installed the profile. But when opening Safari it does not appear in Single App Mode. I've only tried it with Safari so far but eventually I want to be able to use my own App.
Is there an API that has to be used to enter single app mode programmatically? I've found the whole Assessment API but as I do not have the required entitlements to use that API I'm looking for another solution. The documentation on ASAM does not mention the Assessment API at all, is it the only way to enter "a" single app mode on MacOS? How is the Assessment API linked to ASAM? As far as I have understood there's the com.apple.developer.automatic-assessment-configuration entitlement but apps having this do not need to be configured via MDM? I'm really confused as to what's actually required to be able to get into single app mode on MacOS. The app I'm trying to write isn't really related to an an assessment task, but I am doing this for an academic institution so maybe requesting the entitlement would be feasable.
The documentation on ASAM also mentions that the App is granted access to the "Accessibility" API and I've found the whole
UIAccessibility/requestGuidedAccessSession but this does not seem to be available on MacOS proper?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
