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.
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.
I have 5-6 mac minis connected to my windows server 2022 and the accounts that connect to the mac are network account. How do I block the network users from accessing or using certain apps like terminal and passwords?
Can anyone walk me through on how to generate QR code for payment and send invoices?

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.
I recently reviewed the device management restrictions page of the developer docs (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/restrictions) and noticed that several items are now marked "In a future release, this restriction will begin requiring supervision."
Some of these changes are likely to have a dramatic impact on our app and business! So my question is threefold:
a) where can I find out or request more information about the planned changes (e.g. timeline would be especially helpful)?
b) why are these changes being implemented at all?
c) to whom / where can I protest these changes (aside from this forum and feedback assistant)?
Details:
Device: iPhone 12 Pro Max
System: iOS 26.1 beta 2
Issue Description:
When testing MDM device restriction capabilities on iOS 26.1 beta 2, I found that the allowCamera restriction does not work as expected.
Observed Behavior:
• On a BYOD device:
When allowCamera is set to false, the Camera and FaceTime apps disappear from the Home Screen, as expected.
However, third-party apps (such as WeChat) can still access the camera and take photos.
• On earlier versions (e.g. iOS 26.0.1):
Setting allowCamera to false correctly blocks all apps, including third-party apps, from accessing the camera.
Initially, I assumed Apple might have changed this restriction behavior so that allowCamera only applies to supervised devices.
However, after testing on supervised devices, I found that even there, when allowCamera is set to false, the Camera and FaceTime apps are hidden, but third-party apps can still use the camera.
This indicates that the restriction is not functioning correctly in iOS 26.1 beta 2.
Expectation:
When allowCamera is set to false, all camera access — including third-party apps — should be blocked.
Request:
Could someone from Apple’s development or MDM team confirm whether this is an expected behavior change or a potential bug in iOS 26.1 beta 2?

Hi, I found In-App purchase feature is restricted even with User-based VPP.
I understand Device-based VPP does not accept In-App purchase, however User-based VPP accept In-App purchase. (It works on iOS 15 device actually.)
When I tried subscribe ChatGPT on iOS 26 device using User-based VPP, an error dialog is shown that explains In-App purchase is not allowed.
sysdiagnose shows logs belog:
情報 2025-10-26 23:58:22.350841 -0700 storekitd [Client] (ChatGPT) Initializing client

デフォルト 2025-10-26 23:58:22.354020 -0700 storekitd [CanMakePayments] In-app purchase disabled because app com.openai.chat has MID based SINF
In iOS 15 device, no storekitd logs are found and appstored and several processes seem to handle In-App purchase.
Does In-App purchase no longer work with User-based VPP?
Thank you.
Is there a way to restrict an end user from potentially editing a supervised device through Apple Configurator? It seems that Apple Configurator allows to make undesirable changes to a supervised device, like removing profiles, which would in turn be detrimental to the intended experience on the device, if a user would actually be able to perform such changes.

In iOS 26.1 beta 4, under MDM restrictions that disable the camera via a configuration profile, the Camera and FaceTime apps are hidden as expected. However, other third-party apps can still access and use the camera function normally. This is unreasonable.
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?

Hi Apple Community,
At WWDC25, introduced a native device migration feature with iOS/macOS 26 and Apple Business Manager that promises seamless migration from one MDM to another without wiping devices or manual re-enrollment.
That said, while testing this in iOS/macOS 26 beta, we ran into an issue: the Wi-Fi settings deployed by the old MDM aren’t retained during the migration. This means devices lose Wi-Fi connectivity partway through, and users have to manually reconnect before the migration to the new MDM can continue.
This interrupts what should be a smooth, hands-off process. We wanted to ask if this is a known issue or limitation with the current beta? Are there any recommended ways to avoid losing Wi-Fi profiles during this migration window? Will this improve in future updates so that the Wi-Fi connection is preserved or seamlessly handed off to the new MDM?
Any tips, workarounds, or official guidance Apple can share on best practices for handling Wi-Fi profiles during ABM-native device migrations would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I'm implementing Intune MAM to secure applications on iOS. However, I need my users to be able to save files (e.g. attachments in an email in the Outlook app) to iOS Files. To do so, I'm trying to put Files in exception of my Intune MAM policy and I need to obtain the Files "CFBundleURLSchemes" value from the info.plist file of the Files app. I'm not able to get that information.
Are any of you able to get that somehow?
Thanks!
Hi team,
We need to identify the domains used by macOS Software Update so they can be bypassed by our NETransparentProxy. The Apple support article below lists Software Update and several other Apple service domains.
At the moment we’re unsure whether we should only bypass the Software Update and Beta Software domains, or whether we also need to bypass domains used for certificate validation, device management (Apple Business Manager / Apple School Manager / Apple Business Essentials), network provider updates, Apple Diagnostics, etc.
We also need the specific IP ranges used exclusively by Software Update. The document shows Apple’s entire IP range; for IPv4 you can allow outbound connections to 17.0.0.0/8.

We have Apple MDM running for more than 250 schools. We are looking to upgrade our MDM solution and looking as much help as we can get to boost it up. Anyone with experience can help?
