We’re using the Apple Developer Enterprise Program for internal app distribution. The Apple ID is a generic one using our domain email, but the Account Holder is a real person with authority in the organization. For the payment method, we plan to use a corporate credit card — but it is issued under a different staff name (e.g. card under Chief, but Account Holder is IT Head). Just want to check: • Is this setup acceptable? • Will Apple reject the enrollment/renewal if the card name doesn’t match the Account Holder? • What’s the best practice in this case to avoid delays or verification issues? Appreciate any guidance or experience from the community. Thanks!

Hello, We are trying to use the Managed App Distribution framework with our mdm following the documentation here : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/managedappdistribution But on the first load we don't get anything, the app keep getting stuck inside the following code without sending an error or getting the managed apps for try await result in ManagedAppLibrary.currentDistributor.availableApps { content = try result.get().map(Content.managedApp) } If we update the list of available managed apps in our mdm, the function execute and so we have all the apps displayed as expected, but if we close and re-open the app it'll again not display anything until we update the managed apps list. How can we fetched our managed apps at anytime and not only when the list is updated ? Why this method seems to be waiting for an update instead of just fetching the available managed apps when we call it ?

I have created a jwt token with headers { 'typ': 'JWT', 'alg': 'RS256' } and claim as : { 'iss': dep server UUID from Accounts call, 'iat': epoc time in seconds, 'jti': random uuid, 'service_type': 'com.apple.maid' } And signed the token with private key created during DEP MDM server creation. On the device I see Verification error when tried to login with Managed Apple account. In ABM, Access management setting was set to Managed Devices /Supervised only. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently upgraded my Apple Developer account from a personal account to a business account. However, I would like to revert back to a personal account. The reason is that I plan to create a separate developer account for a company using a different company email, and I want to use my original account for publishing personal apps. Is it possible to change the account type back to personal? If so, what steps do I need to follow? If not, are there any other options I should consider? Thank you for your help!

Analytics report issues

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?

Hello, Is it acceptable to have subscriptions that are available for limited times on the app, for example I would like only 100 new paid subscription purchases on the App every month. When the 100 quota is finished, users might see something like "Check back next month". This is to control growth and marketing purposes.

Attempts to programmatically update or add numerous system-installed certificates (a common practice for organizations that rotate certificates regularly) are blocked, forcing manual, insecure, and error-prone workarounds. The root cause lies in the stricter security protocols implemented in macOS 15, specifically: System Integrity Protection (SIP) and Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) Command we are using : sudo security authorizationdb write com.apple.trust-settings.admin

We're currently facing an issue with Intune not automatically updating/downloading the updated build/app to end-user ios devices. It's worth noting that we've recently migrated the Xamarin project to a .NET-style SDK in this version. Previously, the app used to update automatically without any problems. We'd appreciate it if you could help us understand what might be causing this issue.

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?

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 :)

Hello, We‘ve submitted for enrollment as an organization in December. So far it is still pending, and we get same reply from developer support team: Your enrollment is pending. How else can we contact Apple team? How long can this take?

This is in reference to the feedback ticket : https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/draft/57929340, we would like to know if there are any test enterprise websites that Apple can suggest to test passkeys declaration.

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?

Hello, at our school we are using a kerberos proxy. Now we will introduce ipads. In my tests I have set this proxy in wifi settings. On next internet connection I was asked for my account credentials. After that I had full access to internet with ALL apps. Obviously ios has set up a network relay which handles the kerberos authentication for the while device. I have searched for documentation on this topic, but you will find only docs for kerberos with SSO and per app tickets. Do someone has hints for this? Especially where are the password for the kerberos authentication stored on the ipad - it is not the same as in the wifi proxy settings! With regards, Helge
