Use DDM Manager Safari Extensions in macOS Sequoia
I'm trying to use DDM manager Safari Extensins in macOS Sequoia. I generate json and load it by mdm and ddm , but it doesn't seems to work. The json I loading is the following: { "Type": "com.apple.configuration.safari.extensions.settings", "Payload": { "ManagedExtensions": { "*": { "State": "AlwaysOn", "PrivateBrowsing": "AlwaysOn", "AllowedDomains": [], "DeniedDomains": [] } } }, "Identifier": "com.test.safari" } This following image is macOS Sequoia Console log. It show the "com.apple.configuration.safari.extensions.settings" had been run successfully, and no errors. macOS Sequoia response is the following: { "StatusItems" : { "management" : { "declarations" : { "activations" : [ { "active" : true, "identifier" : "com.example.act", "valid" : "valid", "server-token" : "5cc191206d1b1933" } ], "configurations" : [ { "active" : true, "identifier" : "com.test.safari", "valid" : "unknown", "server-token" : "29d3ec5ab48e6367" } ], "assets" : [ ], "management" : [ ] } } }, "Errors" : [ ] } you can see macOS Sequoia response , The "valid" value is always "unknown" at ""identifier" : "com.test.safari", but "Errors" is empty, Safari app don't load extensions , the SafariExtensionSettings" ddm don't work, Is there anything wrong with "SafariExtensionSettings" json? or how can I debug it

Need clarification on using MapKit in CarPlay
I have developed a mobile app using SwiftUI that supports GoogleMaps. Now I am in the process of building a CarPlay application. I assume CarPlay only supports Apple MapKit, as I could not find any way to integrate the Google Maps. Below are few queries, Could you please guide me on how I can obtain the user's current location on the CarPlay app launch? Is there a way CarPlay can get the details from the mobile app(not pretty sure as its using Google Maps)? If the user is logged out from the mobile app, what is the flow in CarPlay? Do we have any standard login page asking user to login to the mobile app first? Is there any UI asking the user to capture the location in CarPlay? This is my first CarPlay app. Kindly guide me to a document or so that covers these details. Thanks a ton!!

Account-Driven Device Enrollment for iPadOS 18.2
Hi, I'm glad to hear that the service discovery process is improved on iOS/iPadOS 18.2 mentioned here. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/deployment/dep4d9e9cd26/1/web/1.0 I tried it on my development MDM server. Set default MDM for iPad to my development MDM server on Apple Business Manager. Call the new API https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/account_driven_enrollment_profile and 200 OK is returned However the service discovery fails with the following error. Invalid well-known response for https://{my email's comain name}/.well-known/com.apple.remotemanagement?user-identifier={my email}&model-family=iPad: <NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x300a9f420> Invalid well-known response for https://axm-servicediscovery.apple.com/mdmBaseURL?user-identifier={my email}&model-family=iPad: <NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x3009047a0> It seems fallback process to https://axm-servicediscovery.apple.com/mdmBaseURL actually works but it returns 404 Not Found error. How can we use this awesome feature? Thank you :)

Backup and restore Personal IOS data to Supervised device?
Backup and restore Personal IOS data to a Supervised device? We currently have around 200+ iPhone users that are using their devices as personal devices. We are planning on moving them to Intune using Automated Device Enrollment (Supervised). Is it any way possible to backup their devices, do a factory reset, enroll them in Intune, then restore the old data? Is it possible to do backup and restore in this situation? Is there an alternative way to restore the data back to a supervised device?

Mac Mini M4 can`t open activation lock
我有十一台M4芯片的mac mini,目前通过AC2将设备挂载在ABM中。目前有10台通过接口 “https://mdmenrollment.apple.com/device/activationlock” 启用企业激活锁去出现INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR错误,只有一台成功了,成功那台设备使用的ABM账号与其他设备使用的ABM账号不同所属组织也不同。 I have eleven M4 chip Mac mini devices, currently mounted in ABM through AC2. Currently, there are 10 units that have passed the interface“ https://mdmenrollment.apple.com/device/activationlock ”Enabling the enterprise activation lock resulted in an INTERNAL_SERVER-ERROR error, and only one device succeeded. The successful device used a different ABM account than the other failed devices and belonged to a different organization.

How to stop supervised users from turning off web filters from settings
Hi,team: I have configured SystemExtensions and WebContentFilter for supervised devices through mdm, and set NonRemovableFromUISystemExtensions in SystemExtensions, but found that my network filter cannot be deleted in macOS10, macOS11 and macOS12, but it can still be turned off by selecting the network filter in the network and choosing to disable the service. However, it cannot be turned off in macOS13, macOS14 and macOS15. How can I prevent supervised devices from turning off the network filter in 10, 11 and 12? The macOS 10.15.7 image is as follows: macOS15.1.1 cannot delete and cannot close the image as follows: Hope to receive your reply!

MDM Push Certificates renewal does not work and redirects to a not found page
When clicking Upload for the CSR file, there is no APNS certificate available for download. Instead, the portal redirects to https://www.apple.com/filenotfound MDM Push Certificates are critical for the operation of managed devices, if they expire, all devices will have to be reenrolled creating a catastrophic event for all the customers devices. Please review and given how critical this service for renewing certificates is for your customers, please also make sure it is always available without downtimes. Let me know if you need more details, Thank you, Sergio

Can RemovableSystemExtensions be configured in the MDM configuration file of macOS10.15-12?
Hi,team: I know that the MDM system extension configuration parameter RemovableSystemExtensions can only be valid after macOS12+, but can I also use this parameter between macOS10.15-12? Even if he is ineffective. Will this cause any problems with the system. I want to use the same MDM configuration file for the devices I manage, which have systems between macOS10.15-15.I hope to receive your confirmation

iOS/iPadOS Updates via MDM fail if the device has OS Deferral settings applied
We have noticed that if we apply forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates in Restrictions profile, it causes ScheduleOSUpdates to fail or go into an invalid state. For example: On my iOS device, we have set the forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates to 90 days which removed the latest iOS update iOS 18.2 from the Software Updates section on the device. Post this, if I schedule an update for iOS 18.2 using ScheduleOSUpdateCommand, it fails to download. If I schedule the same without forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates, the update works as expected. Please help what could be the reason for this behavior as forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates should not block ScheduleOSUpdates.

macOS Restriction Issue "allowAccountModification"
Hi Apple Community, I have been Testing with key allowAccountModification in macOS Restriction Payload and found some contrasting behavior In macOS 14, macOS 15.1 in both of the OS Version when allowAccountModification is set to False it restricts adding new Account in System Settings and this is expected behavior How ever things are contrasting and not going as expected in the below situation When macOS 14 Version has 2 profiles for Restriction Payload one with allowAccountModification set to False and another with allowAccountModification set to True it restricts adding Apple Account When macOS 15.1 Version has 2 profiles for Restriction Payload one with allowAccountModification set to False and another with allowAccountModification set to True it allows adding Apple Account I remember when restrictions payload keys are contrasting across different profile Apple Uses the most restrictive one among them. But in macOS 15.1 the behavior is unexpected. Is this a issue in 15.1 and is there any list of macOS versions which shows this unexpected behavior

FileVault Encryption Type Unknown
Hi Apple Community, If a macOS Device is FileVault Encrypted, We are using the keys FDE_HasInstitutionalRecoveryKey, FDE_HasPersonalRecoveryKey from SecurityInfo to know the Device Encryption Type. But Some times rarely we get FDE_Enabled as true but both the above mentioned keys as false Also we get SecurityInfo Response patterns like these only if FileVault is enabled in Device with iCloud as option to unlock the disk Can we confirm this pattern or is there any way to know if device is encrypted with options other than Personal / Institutional Types <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CommandUUID</key> <string>SecurityInfo</string> <key>SecurityInfo</key> <dict> ...... ...... ...... <key>FDE_Enabled</key> <true/> <key>FDE_HasInstitutionalRecoveryKey</key> <false/> <key>FDE_HasPersonalRecoveryKey</key> <false/> ...... ...... ...... <key>Status</key> <string>Acknowledged</string> <key>UDID</key> <string>..............</string> </dict> </plist>

Apple ID & Apple School Manager
Is there a way for our app to deny Apple ID users from logging into the app if the Apple ID is not specifically managed by Apple School Manager? This would allow only students to be able to use the app. Basically is there a way for us to know if an Apple ID was created by Apple School Manager?

iOS 18.1.1 Not Showing Intermediate Certificate in Trust Settings
I have private certificate authority. Root &gt; Intermediate &gt; Leaf. When I install the Root Certificate, it shows in Settings &gt; General &gt; About &gt; Certificate Trust Settings in iOS 18.1.1 However, when I install the Intermediate Certificate (including the CA Bundle), the Intermediate CA Certificate is not shown in the Certificate Trust Settings. All my leaf certificates are issued by the Intermediate CA. Is this a bug? If not, how can this be solved? TIA!

Client Identity is not used in DNS over TLS/HTTPS configuration
I am trying to create a DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS server that requires authentication with a client certificate and configure it in the Device Management Profile for use from the iPhone.

How to Create Organization Account
Hey Community! I am seeking your help. I have tried Apple Support but to no avail. I know they are busy with a lot of requests, understandable. I previously had my personal developer account (which I used to use for building apps). But then I started my own consultancy/business. Now I want to create apps for my organization. From what I understood from their guidelines: 1/ Create a new individual account with your organization. 2/ Somehow link it to an organization account using DUNS number, etc. I am still stuck at point 1 because it doesn't verify my personal ID (could this be because it is linked to my old personal account). Can someone walk me through the process of creating an organization account?
