Hi,
I have created a game for all platforms (except VisionOS) and would like to release each version separately. Can I upload the iOS version without uploading the other versions?
Thanks,
Dan Uff

Finally got to the stage where the ACME certificate profile is successfully installed. However, the public key/certificate itself isn't appearing in the System Keychain. I'm not sure if this is normal or if it's an indication that something went wrong after the profile installation. Unfortunately, I didn't study the log detail at the time and I'm uncertain of how to retrieve those logs from two days ago for the ACME activities.
Can anyone confirm that macOS 26 should be storing ACME-retrieved MDM profile-based certificates in the System Keychain? If they should be there, what can possibly go wrong? The most obvious issue I can see is that the ACME server has requested the certificate with two CN's, which comes from the MDM profile asking for the subject against CN and the OID (2.5.4.3). Both CN's are identical.
I'm surprised the profile installed if something is wrong. At first, I assumed Apple had decided to stop installing the certificates into the System Keychain.

Hello,
I am running into a bit of an issue with the Screen Timeout/Screen Lock setting and would like some clarification on.
First for a bit of context, I am enrolling personal iOS devices 18.0+ into the company MDM (Intune) with Account Driven User Enrollment. We are trying to set a screen timeout of 5 minutes and immediately after it asks for the passcode on the device, though this setting is not being applied and the device timeout setting can be set as "Never" on the user's end. This is a big security risk for the company I work for and and the issue with being HIPAA compliant.
According to the Microsoft Intune Support, "In iOS 18, when using Account-Driven User Enrollment for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenarios, the screen lock timeout setting is indeed marked as “Not Applicable”. This is because Apple’s privacy-preserving model for personal devices restricts administrative control over system-level settings like screen lock or idle timeout."
I am needing clarification on the item mentioned from Microsoft Intune Support and if this setting is no longer able to be applied from the MDM with devices enrolled with Account Driven User Enrollment?
My company signed the application with enterprise certificate, the Provisioning Profile expired on March 20, 2025. Some iPhones didn't update the application before the expiration.
We have update the Provisioning Profile and repackaged application. However, these iPhones still can't use the application after reinstalling the new ipa. After opening the application, the screen is blank and then flashes back without any error prompt.
Restarting iPhone didn't help.
We have applications RME and RMEUI, which are added under FileProviders section. Looking for MDM profile that can lock these entries so that users cannot disable them. Currently we are using JAMF Pro MDM to control our applications.
In Sequoia OS -> Open System Preferences -> General -> Login Items & Extensions -> Under Extensions section -> File Providers
In Tahoe OS -> Open System Preferences -> General -> Login Items & Extensions -> Under By Category/App section -> File Providers
(In the screen shot you can find RME entry)
Hello,
wehave some Iphone in the family and noticed a strange issue:
On a website the site admins renewed the webserver cert, and now most of the IOS devices( Iphone 15 / 15 Pro Max / Ipad 10) doesnot trust in the new cert, while the apple trustsin the rootCA

Hi.
I am writing a little MDM application.
Despite the basic task (add a password for 'remove profile' button in settings), it seems I am stuck with a problem:
When I try to enroll my device with enrollment.mobileconfig file, Apple Configurator app, I receive an error
The profile “Enrollment Profile” could not be installed because it is invalid.
Make sure the profile is valid and try installing it again.
The original architecture of my .mobileconfig contains of two payloads (com.apple.security.scep , com.apple.mdm), and it works correctly. However, when I try to add a third payload of com.apple.profileRemovalPassword , I receive the error stated above.
From logs collected on iPhone, here's what was found :
Failed to parse profile data. Error: NSError:
Desc : The profile “Enrollment Profile” is invalid.
Sugg : A profile containing an MDM payload must be removable.
US Desc: The profile “Enrollment Profile” is invalid.
US Sugg: A profile containing an MDM payload must be removable.
Domain : MCProfileErrorDomain
Code : 1000
Type : MCFatalError
Params : (
"Enrollment Profile"
)
...Underlying error:
NSError:
Desc : A profile containing an MDM payload must be removable.
US Desc: A profile containing an MDM payload must be removable.
Domain : MCProfileErrorDomain
Code : 1000
Type : MCFatalError
Extra info:
{
isPrimary = 1;
}
My main dictionary contains
HasRemovalPasscode
Also, I have tried playing around with
PayloadRemovalDisallowed
setting it to true and false, however, I keep getting the same error message.
There is also a second error produced:
Profile MCConfigurationProfile, version 1:
Display Name: “Enrollment Profile”
Description : “***”
Identifier : ***
UUID : ***
Organization: ***
Is Stub : No
Locked : Yes
Removal passcode present

Device Type : 0
Payloads:
Payload MCSCEPPayload, version 1

UUID : ***

Organization: ***
Payload MCRemovalPasswordPayload, version 1
Identifier : com.examp Can't parse profile: <decode: missing data>
The code for com.apple.profileRemovalPassword is taken from apple documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/profileremovalpassword)
I have also tried the automatic way - creating it from Apple Configurator, so it is correct in terms of syntax 100%.
Several important notes:
Creating a fresh new profile with just password removal protection single payload allows to perform a download of the profile
If I comment out the whole com.apple.mdm payload block, I will be able to download this profile on iPhone also
The com.apple.mdm block is also valid by itself, and works correctly
I have tried implementing other types of "dummy" payloads - for example com.apple.dock
<dict>
<key>PayloadType</key>
<string>com.apple.dock</string>
<key>PayloadVersion</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>PayloadIdentifier</key>
<string>com.example.test.dock</string>
<key>PayloadUUID</key>
<string>22222222-3333-4444-5555-666666666666</string>
<key>PersistentApps</key>
<array/>
</dict>
And everything worked out fine.
So my hypothetical conclusion out of these four notes might be in some type of interconnection between mdm and profileRemovalPassword, which isn't really listed anywhere? Or am I missing something ? Thank you in advance.
New devices coming to this year is named as iPhone 17 ....
Why we care not going for iPhone 26. .... ?
if it is named as iPhone 26... in line with new version policy, it will be easier to relate in all perspective.
Hello, We have an internal enterprise app. After the provisioning profile (certificate) expired, some employees' iPhones still retained the old certificate when updating the app, causing the app to fail to open. We’ve tried restarting and reinstalling the app, but the issue persists. Having each employee manually reset network or device settings would be too operationally costly. Since this involves a large number of devices, we cannot use Apple Configurator to remove and reinstall certificates one by one. Therefore, we’d like to ask if there is a more efficient, batch-oriented solution to quickly resolve the certificate residue issue. We’d appreciate any suggestions for large-scale deployment methods. Thank you very much!
Hello,
I write my bachelor-thesis about geolocation data on an iPhone. I write a small app to get the actual coordinates and saved into a sqlite database. so far so far. Now I have a GPS-generator from R&S to simulate gps-data and satellites. I can simulate 6 satellites parallel to my "fake" geolocation. I write the app also on an Android -smartphone, this Android can display the Satellites-ID and the "fake" geolocation..thats fine for my thesis. But my iPhone would not display anything I this setup?
During outside the app would be deliver the actual coordinate, but with the signal.genarator I can't get coordinates.
I try GPS, Glosnass, Galileo and Beidoo but nothing happens on my iPhone 12mini.
The IOS is 18.1 and I use the core Location api.
Has anybody some ideas for me and my thesis?

Hi everyone,
I’m working as an IT engineer in the cruise industry and need to troubleshoot passenger complaints about Apple’s new RCS messaging feature (introduced with iOS 18). Could someone help confirm which domains and ports iPhones use when they send RCS messages? My firewall team wants specifics: domains (or subdomains) that need whitelisting and the ports involved.
Any official or community-sourced info would be super helpful—thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,
Is it possible and how to get Managed Apple ID (email) programmatically for user signed in to ipad through shared IPad feature ?
It would be good to have MDM independent solution, I mean API call to MDM service is not acceptable for us.
Maybe API call to ASM or ABM, or get that somehow on iOS device end... any advice ?
Thanks in advance,
Dima

How can we receive the iPadOS 18.6.1 update on an iPad? We have configured the MDM update days policy to receive recent, but not the latest, iPadOS updates; however, we are only able to get versions 18.6.2 and 18.6. Is the availability of iPadOS updates dependent on the iPad's region?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
We have several apps that our business uses to connect to internal private HTTP sites. We noticed in IOS 18.3 we are getting SSL errors to the web server and noticed the issue in the Chrome Browser as well. Our team is looking at the Application Transport Security layer exceptions in our apps Info.Plist. We do notice the browser forcing HTTPS. Any insight on what could be the issue?

How to apply for Apple one-on-one consultation。

We are currently working on a SCEP server implementation that operates in FIPS-approved mode. In this mode, RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 encryption is disallowed due to compliance requirements, and only FIPS-approved padding schemes such as RSA-OAEP are permitted.
However, we have observed that the SCEP client functionality on Apple devices currently does not support RSA-OAEP for CMS EnvelopedData decryption. This creates a challenge for us in ensuring FIPS compliance while maintaining compatibility with Apple devices during certificate enrollment through SCEP.
We would appreciate your guidance on the following:
Are there any alternative FIPS-approved encryption algorithms or configurations supported by Apple devices for SCEP CMS EnvelopedData decryption?
Is there any plan or timeline for future support of RSA-OAEP on Apple platforms for this use case?

Hello,
I have an Apple Developer Enterprise account, and Apple Support has already enabled MDM for my account. I successfully downloaded and installed my MDM Vendor Certificate (it shows up in Keychain as MDM Vendor: [My Company Name] with its private key).
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Exported the Vendor Certificate + private key as a .p12, then converted to .pem and .key using OpenSSL.
Generated an unsigned CSR with CN=com.apple.mgmt.External. using OpenSSL.
Attempted to sign the CSR using:
my Vendor certificate
the Vendor private key
Apple Worldwide Developer Relations (WWDR) intermediate certificate
OpenSSL smime -sign command with DER output
Problem:
Every time I try to upload the vendor-signed CSR to the Apple Push Certificates Portal, I get an error (CSR rejected).
Sometimes OpenSSL even fails with “unable to load certificates” depending on how the WWDR certificate is included.
My Questions:
What is the correct OpenSSL command and certificate chain Apple expects for signing the CSR?
Do I need to include any additional intermediates besides WWDR?
Is there an official Apple reference example for generating the vendor-signed CSR that the Push Certificates Portal will accept?
Any guidance from the community (or someone who has successfully done this end-to-end) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sergio Sanchez
