I work with https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/activationlockrequest?language=objc. The same codes work well on other devices, such as iphone, ipad, mac air. What causes? What can i do to resovle it?

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>

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

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

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！

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.

I have a in-house delivered app, I updated certificates and delivered the app before expiring, inviting users to update. after certificates expiration people who did not update now must remove the app loosing personal data, and download it again, but app crashes. I know that since iOS 18 in order to trust again an in-house identity, restart is required. What I need to know, is if there is some documentation where is explained the following: if I remove the only app delivered by in-house enterprise profile I have on a customer device, via home, long time tap gesture, "remove the app" then I install again the app, the profile reappears under "VPN and device management" and results already as "trusted" instead if I remove the app directly from settings > VPN and device management, when I re-install the app VPN and device management reappears and developer/app is not trusted, in it asks me to trust again the developer and during the operation, restarts the device, asks me device code and so on. so, my final question is: since it is clear to me that there is a difference between two removal methods, where is this logic described? Is it only present for in-house distribution?

We are attempting to block the attachment of photos from the Photos/Gallery app when sending emails or sharing on social media applications such as Gmail, Outlook, and other platforms. These are MDM Managed Applications While file attachments (e.g., PDFs, documents) are successfully blocked, photo attachments are not being restricted, allowing users to attach photos without limitations. We are applying the below restriction to the device through an MDM allowOpenFromUnmanagedToManaged: false https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/restrictions Steps to Reproduce: Open the Photos or Gallery app on a mobile device. Open Gmail, Outlook, or a social media application (e.g., Facebook, Instagram). Open the Photos or Gallery app on a mobile device. Select a photo to attach. Try to attach the selected photo to an email or post. Observe that the photo is successfully attached, despite restrictions on file attachments.

Hello Apple Community, We are integrating Apple Tap to Pay into our Point of Sale (POS) application. Our organization manages a fleet of supervised iPhones using Apple Business Manager (ABM) and Mobile Device Management (MDM) to onboard devices with preferred settings and automatically install our POS app via MDM-assigned licenses, then our OPS team installs our devices at merchant location and trains their staff on how to operate our service. So far, we have avoided using Apple IDs on these devices, as our setup has relied solely on MDM enrollment and app deployment. However, Apple Tap to Pay requires an Apple ID and Passcode, which presents a challenge for automation at scale. Our Questions: 1. Generally speaking, is there a recommended flow to manage Apple ID and Passcode for our case? 2. Is Managed Apple ID supported by Tap To Pay flow? 3. Is there a way to automate creation of Managed (or regular one if Managed is not supported by Tap to Pay) Apple ID and assignment into supervised iPhone via Apple MDM protocol? 4. Both regular and managed Apple ID requires 2FA via phone number. It appears Passkeys and Authentication Apps are not supported. What is recommended way to manage 2FA phone numbers on a scale of thousands of merchants? 5. Is there a way to enforce/assign specific passcode into supervised iPhone via Apple MDM protocol? Key Considerations: • Devices are corporate-owned and supervised. • Practice shows that merchant staff is unable to manage Apple ID or any sort of iPhone credentials on their own due to frequent staff rotation and sometimes malicious actions by former employees. • MDM is used to manage deployment, security policies, and app installations and updates. • The goal is to avoid requiring end-users to manually sign in with Apple IDs and assign Passcode on each device. Thank you!

The security configuration updates have been enforced through automatic update policy enabled through an MDM policy. However our end users would like to know when these updates are triggered by the device and installed successfully. We can see on a few devices that even though the automatic updates are enabled there are many devices with config updates pending. Also is there a way to manually install these config updates as the end user cannot see these updates listed in the software update section.

We've been waiting almost 3 years for Business Essentials to be available in Canada. Does anyone know the timeline for releases outside of the US?

Hi there, I am trying to create an IPsec policy for remote access for iOS devices. Is the full updated list with all the settings, which are supported? I could only find this article: https://support.apple.com/de-de/guide/deployment/depdf31db478/web But I am sure it's not updated: Authentication Algorithms: HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA1. Same for DH Groups 2-5

Hello We have devices setup with in ABM and managed with Intune. Having only ever setup shared iPad's, we have a new request with managing iPhone's. The customer wants the iPhone's managed, but users enabled to purchase apps for the app store using their own credit card (or Apple ID) These are not BYOD devices and federated sign is not an option at this time. Can this be done with example User affinity profiles? Many thanks

Hi, I have a couple of questions about how to proceed and prepare the implementation for the DeviceLock MDM command for macOS in a secure and proper manner. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/device-lock-command In documentation "PIN" is "(string) The six-character PIN for Find My. This value is available in macOS 10.8 and later." - is this the PIN that is used to unlock the device? Is there any video online that I can see how the process would look like for the end user with locking and unlocking a device? What should be done before sending a DeviceLock command? What should be done to safely test the command without bricking a device. How to unlock a device that was locked with a DeviceLock command? Is there any Unlock command or can the user unlock device with the provided PIN earlier? Thank you for any help!

Is the possibility of programmatically recovering the enrolled email address associated with an iPad. We are currently working on a project that requires us to retrieve this information for our enrolled devices. Could you please provide guidance or documentation on how we can achieve this programmatically? Specifically, we are interested in any APIs or frameworks that Apple provides for this purpose, as well as any necessary permissions or configurations that need to be in place.

We'd like to determine if there is a configuration declaration that is active on a device as part of a predicate. The current logic (based on the WWDC 22 session) is: SUBQUERY(@status(management.declarations.configurations), $declaration, ($declaration.@key(identifier) == "com.abc.declarationname" AND $declaration.@key(active) == true)).@count == 1 The goal is that if the declaration is active, then a predicate should evaluate to true. This query does not appear to be working. Should we be able to use @status(management.declarations.activations) in a predicate? If so, what are we missing to attempt to determine if the declaration is active? If I search the existing status objects that are sent from the device, it is showing as active in the status channel.

Issue - Safari application not fetched from system_profile command Use case - We are trying to get list of installed applications in the mac. For this we use System_profiler command to fetch the details list. It is working good, but the thing is , It doesnt fetch Safari app as an installed Application. Command used - **/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType** Can anyone suggest any other way to fetch the installed applications list from the mac , which includes all the apps (including safari app) and remains effective ?

Hello, I am an iOS developer managing an MDM app. In this app, we are only using the camera restriction feature. Can the MDM status (specifically, the camera state) be changed while the user's screen is locked? We want to communicate with our server in the background and apply changes, but there is no known information about this. I would appreciate your help!
