# Package

The declaration to configure a package.

```
object Package
```

## Discussion

Specify `com.apple.configuration.package` as the declaration type.

This declaration installs a package on a device. Packages can contain apps, fonts, documents, and other items. Apps that a package installs aren’t automatically managed; you can manage them using the [`AppManaged`](/documentation/DeviceManagement/AppManaged) declaration.
