Hi Team,
We have Apple's OS Update for Mac machines in our fleet . Where some Macs are Silicon previously at 14.2.1 and we updating them to 14.3 using Command ScheduleOSUpdate with InstallAction key set to Default.
We also have set restriction set with keys forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates set to true and enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay set to 1 For Updating at earliest.
FYI,
These machines already have FileVault Encrypted with them and also has Admin User
After Restart We can see that the device automatically boots to Recovery Mode asking for a "Recovery Key" to continue , Even When we have given the personal recovery key (or) Trying to unlock the disk using Admin user's Credential in Startup Disk Things not working.
FYI ,
The machine have asked for BootStrap Token After ScheduleOSUpdate Command And MDM have given them in Response
Can We please know where there is a issue and why this behaviour is occurring

As stated in the above documentation, to use this framework, App should be enabled the following entitlement .
The Managed App Installation UI entitlement is required to use this framework.
But in developer portal it is not found .Is there any other requirements Apple will expect in order to use this entitlement.? Any help will be appreciated.
I'm encountering challenges deploying two unlisted applications via MDM to an iOS 17.2 device.
The first app successfully installed after presenting a user prompt upon distribution

Can you confirm the iOS Devices support deployment of Unlisted apps without VPP app assignment ?
The specific pdf when opened in an macOS or web orA Adobe iOS App, it shows the highlighted texts as expected
But when opened through any IOS app (except the adobe app) or our native app using pdfkit , the highlights are gone . It disappeared

Our goal is to fetch Battery Health Capacity Percentage through an swift App or through any Mobile device Management Protocol.
I can surf through internet and can find only there is an api to fetch the battery level from the iOS/iPadOS devices.
Is there any way to fetch the battery health.

Hi Apple Community,
Problem Description:
Regarding the transition from MDM (Mobile Device Management) profiles to DDM (Declarative Device Management) profiles, as announced during WWDC 2023, this marks a significant step forward in simplifying our device management process.
When we attempted to test this transition with the 17 developer beta OS version devices, we encountered a notable challenge. Specifically, when trying to apply a DDM Webclip legacy profile configuration to a device that already had the same profile applied through MDM. We received the following status response from DDM: "The profile “<profile_identifier>” cannot replace an existing profile." As a result, the configuration was not applied.
However, after removing the existing applied MDM profile and then reapplying the same profile as a legacy profile via DDM, the configuration was successfully applied.
My DDM Configuration:
{
"Type": "com.apple.configuration.legacy",
"Identifier": "DEFAULT_APP_CATALOG_CLIP_CONFIG",
"ServerToken": "3",
"Payload": {
"ProfileURL": "https://mdmtest:8080/certificates/appConfig.mobileconfig"
}
}
My DDM Status Response :

Problem Description:
We are using manageVPPLicensesByAdamIdSrv API for assigning licenses for serial numbers. We get "Internal error - 9603" response for this API when assigning the API for valid adamID of an app. When using the same API other apps, this issue doesn't occur. AdamID: 720111835. The license is assigning properly for the same app in VPP License Management 2.0.0 + - Associate Assets API. Currently, we will not able to the new API. We overcame this issue by creating a new location token in the same organization and purchasing the same app in it and using it to assign the license to device for the same app which is successful.
Kindly help us with this issue.

As seen in the AvailableOSUpdate response, this device is applicable for iOS 16 update but unable to update manually as well as via MDM.
The device has the following message showing up, is there any relation between the MDM command failing and this message.
This iPad device is currently running "12.1.4" OS version
Kindly confirm the reason for this message and the reason for this failure via MDM.
And also confirm if there are any restrictions to update to certain major OS versions from lower OS versions, if so kindly share any documentation available regarding this.

Able to access corporate mail attachment in unmanaged apps even after the restriction profile (“allowOpenFromManagedToUnmanaged”) has been installed in the device.
Followed the following steps able to reproduce this issue
Logged in with a personal mail account in iOS device in Mail app.
Pushed an MDM profile with Email configuration to an iOS device. Now this account is in managed space
Pushed a Restriction profile which has the key “allowOpenFromManagedToUnmanaged” to “false”. This restricts unmanaged apps to open attachments from managed space.
Now when I send a email with an attachment to this managed mail account from personal account (Mail is sent from another device, not managed device)
On receiving the email in managed mail account, Able to open the attachment in unmanaged apps.
The restriction seems not to be working when the personal mail account is present in the mail app along with the corporate mail account and the attachment received in a corporate mail account is treated to be in unmanaged space.
The restriction works fine when the personal mail account is removed from mail app.
Kindly confirm whether this is the expected behaviour.
During the "What’s new in managing Apple devices" session, you provided information about the "Not Now" option during Mac ABM Enrollment. We observed that this option was functional when enrolling a Mac through ABM using the "profiles renew -type enrollment" command. However, when attempting to enroll a Mac by erasing it through ABM, we couldn't find the "Not Now" option. Could you please confirm whether the "Not Now" option is intended to be available when enrolling a Mac by erasing it through ABM? Your clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Apple Team,
We are excited by looking on the new updates introduced in WWDC23. In a Session named "Do More With Managed Apple IDs" Where There is Sign In Policy Introduced For Managed Apple IDs
Any Device
Managed Devices Only
Supervised Devices Only
And as a MDM Vendor We need to Support GetToken CheckIn Request to Support Sign In Policy Managed Devices Only, Supervised Devices Only and have some doubts regarding this.
When the Policy is Set To Managed Device Only and we don't have DEP Tokens Registered by Customer with us.How could we able generate the JWT Signed Token with the necessary serverUUID.
In case 1) Even though if I have DEP Token with me How could I choose the necessary serverUUID If the device had managed by MDM through Profile Based Enrollments.
Can you please provide with appropriate solution to overcome this
We are unable to find the documentation for DDM in Managing apps. We searched the Apple Documentation for the newly introduced API and declarations announced (which are given below) but we could not find any results on this.
Documentation for New Apps and Books for Organizations API that replaces ContentMetaData API
Documentation for "com.apple.configuration.app.managed" DDM Configuration
Documentation for "app.managed.list" DDM status
The documentation has not been updated with these cases. Kindly help us on this.
Problem Description:
A App Store (VPP - B2B) app distributed to a device through MDM is not installing. The "InstalledApplicationList" response doesn't have the app in it. The "ManagedApplicationList" response has the app with status as "ManagedButUninstalled". But this cannot happen since there is a restriction - allowAppRemoval is set to false for this device which prevents the removal of installed apps in that device. This is applied before the app was distributed to MDM.
Steps to reproduce:
Enroll a device in MDM.
Use restrictions payload[com.apple.applicationaccess] with a key "allowAppRemoval" set to "true".
Distribute an app to device.
Perform operations to fetch "InstalledApplicationList" and "ManagedApplicationList".
Expected Result:
The device should install the app successfully and ManagedApplicationList response should return "Managed" status for the app.
Actual Result:
The device doesn't install the app and "ManagedApplicationList" returns "ManagedButUninstalled" status.
