Can we build Enterprise TV App or manage TV with MDM ?

Can we build Enterprise TV App or manage TV Box with MDM ?


I want to achieve following functionality...


1. Remotely deploy app in to multiple tv box (assume we have a 100-500 tv box in one account)

2. Delete Web browsing history programmatically

3. Delete App Data programmatically...

4. Load Apps & Content based on User login or Profile we create...

Hi Vipul,


At this point in time, the MDM capabilties for the new Apple TV are the same as the prior generation. So you are not able to deploy applications at this time.


Also, enterprise signed applications are not currently supported.


There is no web browser, so no need to clear browsing history.


The iOS MDM protocol allows for the removal of managed applications, which removes their data. But, these protocols have not yet been implemented on tvOS.


There are not multiple user logins or profiles on a single device, similar to iOS.


For any features you would like to see in a future release, please file a feature request at bugreporter.apple.com.


Thanks!

Hello Apple,

Will B2B apps be supported in the new Apple TV? I as well have clients and a need to Enterprise-only distribution.

What are our options?
