Hi there,

since iOS 14 Beta 8 (also tested with today's release of iOS 14 GM) the device doesn't send the "HasUpdateAvailable" property of an installed app anymore when querying the installed apps of the device with an MDM solution.

See property documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/installedapplicationlistresponse/installedapplicationlistitem
(even listed as a required property)

Command documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/list_the_installed_apps

My MDM solution needs this property to determine if app updates are available for apps deployed with the VPP mechanism.

Is this a bug or intended behavior?

Greetings,
Mike

Same here. Do you have a feedback assistant ID we can refer to ?

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/installedapplicationlistcommand/command?changes=latest_beta&language=objc - there is a new Items key. Should this be sent to get the value again ?

I already tested the new "Items" property. Sadly it doesn't work with "HasUpdateAvailable" either.
