We want to set key-value pair (installation_token: xxxxx) into an app installed by MDM. Formerly we could set the key-value using Settings MDM command like this. <dict> <key>Command</key> <dict> <key>RequestType</key> <string>Settings</string> <key>Settings</key> <array> <dict> <key>Configuration</key> <dict> <key>installation_token</key> <string>xxxxxxx</string> </dict> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.cloudflare.cloudflareoneagent</string> <key>Item</key> <string>ApplicationConfiguration</string> </dict> </array> </dict> We can still use this for the apps installed withInstallApplication MDM command, however we cannot apply this configuration into the app using Declarative Device Management. When we try it, we got an error like this. <dict> <key>CommandUUID</key> <string>.............</string> <key>Settings</key> <array> <dict> <key>ErrorChain</key> <array> <dict> <key>ErrorCode</key> <integer>12008</integer> <key>ErrorDomain</key> <string>MDMErrorDomain</string> <key>LocalizedDescription</key> <string>Could not modify apps managed by Declarative Device Management.</string> <key>USEnglishDescription</key> <string>Could not modify apps managed by Declarative Device Management.</string> </dict> </array> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.cloudflare.cloudflareoneagent</string> <key>Item</key> <string>ApplicationConfiguration</string> <key>Status</key> <string>Error</string> </dict> </array> How can we work with managed application configuration with DDM?

I'd like to try ManagedAppView describe here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appdistribution/fetching-and-displaying-managed-apps // Define a model that obtains a list of managed apps. @Observable final class PortalViewModel { enum Content: Identifiable { case managedApp(ManagedApp), developerContent(title: String, action: (ManagedContentOfferState) -> Void) var id: String { switch self { case let .managedApp(app): return app.id case let .developerContent(title, _): return title } } } var contents: [Content] = [] func getApps() async { do { for try await result in ManagedAppLibrary.currentDistributor.availableApps { contents = try result.get().map(Content.managedApp) } } catch { // Handle errors here. print("ERROR==>\(error)") } } } struct PortalView: View { private var viewModel = PortalViewModel() var body: some View { List(viewModel.contents) { content in switch content { case let .managedApp(managedApp): ManagedAppView(app: managedApp) case let .developerContent(title, action): ManagedContentView(primaryLabel: title, offerState: .custom(title: "Request"), offerAction: action) { Image("house") } } } .managedContentStyle(.compact) .task { await viewModel.getApps() } } } I already configured an entitlement for this UI <?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>com.apple.developer.managed-app-distribution.install-ui</key> <array> <string>managed-app</string> </array> </dict> </plist> However the screen keeps blank with an error message "Error registering for message: [App catalog changed]: An unspecified, unrecoverable error occurred." on executing ManagedAppLibrary.currentDistributor.availableApps And the console log probably implies that this playground app (MDM Agent for SwiftUI) should be available on App Store and installed as managed.

We are working with MDM service using VPP API, and trying to migrate Legacy APIs to new App and Book Management APIs. This document says Send the public key you generate to your Apple contact in a plain-text file. Do not share the private key. Also provide a brief description of your use case and product. I generated a key-pair and sent the public key to Apple Developer Program support, however they didn't know how to handle it. What means "your Apple contact" here? I already understand how to generate JWT token for the api.ent.apple.com. I want to know who authorize the public key for the organization. Thank you,

Push notification for PWA app is supported on iOS >= 16.4. I want to restrict app usage using Restriction payload of configuration profile. Formerly we could it by defining a restriction like this. (actually via MDM) <key>whitelistedAppBundleIDs</key> <array> <string>com.apple.webapp</string> </array> However on iOS >= 17.0, the notification setting of the PWA app is disappeared!! Without the restriction payload, or with the restriction payload without whitelistedAppBundleIDs, the notification setting for the PWA app is shown as expected. Also we discovered that the issue can be avoided by adding com.apple.WebKit.PushBundle.xxxxxx into the restriction payload. <key>whitelistedAppBundleIDs</key> <array> <string>com.apple.webapp</string> <string>com.apple.WebKit.PushBundle.7880D99FB56F4FF7B5DC019E0EDBCBD0</string> </array> com.apple.WebKit.PushBundle.7880D99FB56F4FF7B5DC019E0EDBCBD0 can be found with console log using Apple Configurator. However it cannot be found via MDM command (ex. InstalledApplicationList). We want to configure and install the restriction payload into multiple devices via MDM. So how can we know the com.apple.WebKit.PushBundle.xxxxxx via MDM? or how can we enable push notification settings for PWA apps with restriction payload? Thank you

I tried the new feature of iOS 17.2 com.apple.configuration.app.managed A configuration and its activation are defined with the data like this. { "Identifier": "389459bf-0902-58dd-be0e-11c83c695a8b", "Type": "com.apple.configuration.app.managed", "Payload": { "InstallBehavior": { "Install": "Required", "License": { "VPPType": "Device" } }, "BundleID": "com.microsoft.Office.Powerpoint" }, "ServerToken": "..." } After distributing the configuration with DeclarativeDevicement MDM command, an error is notified via status channel app.managed.list. { "active": true, "identifier": "389459bf-0902-58dd-be0e-11c83c695a8b", "valid": "valid", "server-token": "21b95e4cb0b616a3ac77a5905ed08756fa36f605ad1a30a9bd347a4a8092532c" }, "app": { "managed": { "list": [ { "state": "failed", "declaration-identifier": "389459bf-0902-58dd-be0e-11c83c695a8b", "identifier": "com.microsoft.Office.Powerpoint", "name": "Microsoft PowerPoint", "reasons": [ { "code": "Error.LicenseNotFound" } ] }, After VPP license for the app is assigned, I tried to issue DeclarativeManagement command again. However iOS device doesn't fetch the configuration because it is not changed. App installation is not retried even after the valid license is assigned. How can we trigger the retrying installation? Thank you

Our MDM customers often claim MDM push is not delivered to device and cannot manage devices via MDM. TokenUpdate is not notified from the device on our MDM checkin server. APNs server response is 200 OK (successful) with the device token. MDM push is actually not delivered on device. We are really struggling to handle the claim because it is probably caused by iOS behavior, and AppleCare OS support doesn't help investigation about the issue. How can we investigate the reason why the push is not delivered? How can we know the current token value of the managed device? Reinstalling the MDM configuration profile is a way to know current MDM push token (it triggers TokenUpdate checkin command) Any other way to trigger TokenUpdate request on the device side?
