Dev Account and Business Manager reclaimingg usernames
Greetings, As our company grows, we created an Apple Business Manager account to better manage company devices and staff iCloud accounts. Business Manager detected there are pre-existing Apple IDs using our domain and offers to reclaim their usernames. Among those: our developer accounts which are used to manage and publish our apps. Business Manager says that reclaiming the usernames will invite the users to pick a new username. My questions, to anyone having experience or knowledge on the matter: Is there any chance that we find ourselves locked out of our Developer Account? Is there any recommendation against reclaiming the developer account addresses? Thank you in advance for any insights and suggestions. (Sadly, Business Manager does not allow picking which usernames to reclaim individually. It is an all or nothing kind of situation. It does not even list the usernames, merely the total count of them)

Do not activate apple developer programm
Good afternoon, I think I've already read about this on the forum, but I'll write about our situation. We have not been able to pay for the developer account for 2 weeks, we have confirmed all the company's data and everything necessary, but apple does not want to debit money from the card and does not recognize the error on its side, tell me who somehow solved this problem? Israel region - I read that many people have problems in different regions I place an order and a message comes that I have to wait two days, but nothing happens... Apple please help solve the problem!

MDM Server Token Installing in Our Server
We are creating our own server for MDM, we followed apple suggested approach with following link [https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/deployment/dm055] After uploading .pem file in ABM portal, new server token is generating but my question is where we need keep that server token(.P7M) in our servers...is there any specific path we have...if we gone through apple documents they are suggesting to follow vendor documentation but in my case we did't take any third party server's...so we don't have any vendor document. Can you please help me to achieve this scenario.

Webclip icon cannot be deleted
The iphone info: OsVersion: iOS 15 Device model: iphone 12 Steps: Install the MDM profile on the iphone. The server pushes the command to install the webclip profile through MDM (the profile is set to not be manually removable). After installing the webclip profile, the webclip icon will appear on the Home Screen of the phone screen. When the webclip is no longer used, remove the webclip profile through MDM. The problem occurs in step 4, the webclip profile is deleted, but the webclip icon still exists on the home screen of the mobile phone, and cannot be removed by tools such as Apple Configurator2. So what causes this phenomenon and how to fix?

App Submission - rejected 3.2 Business Model issues
Hi, I like to get some opinion as I am confused with reason for rejection. App, my team has developed will be used by auditors to do Audits by our company auditors and other companies auditors as well. Even though it sounds like a specific people, we wont know the exact team / people who can use my app as it can be distributed to lots of people in lots of countries. So this needs to be public and accessable via app store (its a requirement from client) My app submission is rejected 3 times for same reason - 3.2 Business model issues Guideline 3.2 - Business We found in our review that your app is intended to be used by a specific business or organization, including partners, clients, or employees, but you've selected public distribution on the App Store in App Store Connect. Since the App Store is intended for apps with a public audience, we recommend reviewing the other distribution options available to you through your Apple Developer Program Account. Any guidence why its getting rejected will be very helpful. Thanks K

Redeemable Codes Validity
Are the codes generated by the business portal always limited to the country in which the DUMS code is registered? I have clients who have only one office and therefore can request only one DUMS code but have employees in various countries. How can I generate codes, from the business portal, valid for all countries? Has it become possible to do this? What alternatives can I evaluate for distributing a private app?

AvailableOSUpdates Response on a supervised device with default RecommendationCadence (0)
Is it expected behavior for an iOS device with the default recommendation cadence to only return the new major update(s) to MDM via AvailableOSUpdates? We'd expect to see both iOS 16 and iOS 17 product keys here. We don't remember this being a problem last year. iPad 11,6 running 16.5.1 that can take 16.7.1 according to GDMF with the default RecommendationCadence is only returning this and not anything in the 16 series: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>AvailableOSUpdates</key> <array> <dict> <key>AllowsInstallLater</key> <false/> <key>Build</key> <string>21A360</string> <key>DownloadSize</key> <integer>3157073669</integer> <key>HumanReadableName</key> <string>iPadOS 17.0.3</string> <key>InstallSize</key> <integer>1328545792</integer> <key>IsCritical</key> <false/> <key>IsSecurityResponse</key> <false/> <key>ProductKey</key> <string>iOSUpdate21A360</string> <key>ProductName</key> <string>iOS</string> <key>RestartRequired</key> <true/> <key>SupplementalBuildVersion</key> <string>21A360</string> <key>Version</key> <string>17.0.3</string> </dict> </array> <key>CommandUUID</key> <string>3e556538-d125-460e-923e-feebca9ac2e5</string> <key>Status</key> <string>Acknowledged</string> <key>UDID</key> <string>00008020-001A4C512E68402E</string> </dict> </plist>

Screen sharing fails to unlock
14 Inch 2021 Macbook Pro M1, running Ventura. When the macbook is closed and charging, I attempt to connect via screen sharing from another Macbook pro, 13-inch 2020 M1 also running Ventura. First I have to enter my username and password into a popup before I can even get to the other mac's screen. Then I get to the standard lock screen, showing my username and asking for a password. When I enter my password I see the desktop for a second or two, then it immediately relocks before I can even move the mouse, etc. This happens up to 4 times before I either give up or get through. This is extremely aggravating. I don't have a hot corner to relock the screen or anything like that.

Bussiness distribution not working
Hi everyone, We have developed an application for a large company and are distributing it using a business account. We have codes that we give to users. The problem is that we released an update for the same app, but users aren't receiving the update automatically as it should be. It's not working. So, we are giving new codes to users as if they are installing a fresh version. We have contacted Apple, but we haven't received any answers (the suppport its a nightmare mostly people just saying they dont have acess to our ticket case) Has anyone else experienced this problem? And does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.

API for Apple Business Manager
Hi, I'm trying to confirm if there is an API that can be used to interrogate ABM for device info? It holds our enterprise devices and so want to regularly extract a list of all devices along with associated information, and import these into a corporate system. It's unclear from the documentation if this can be done. This is the closest I can find but implies it must be done from within another (developed) app...? TIA.
