Discussion on "All you need to know about Managed App Configuration"

Hi Marco, thanks for your great article. Do you have any experience with getting an app with a Managed App Configuration through the Apple Review? At the moment my app is stuck in the review because they cannot test the app without a configuration. They are requesting a MDM Profile but to my knowledge the App Configuration can only be supplied via MDM Commands not a MDM Configuration Profile.

I worked on enterprise apps (uploaded to Apple's AppStore) that offered configuration options through Managed App Config. However, I was not responsible for the upload procedure. But I don't think that during those reviews there were issues / specific requirements raised by Apple for testing those configuration options. As you correctly stated the Managed App Config, essentially a plist, gets deployed through MDM Commands.

Thank you so much for the article; it's a godsend.

Could you please advise me of a typical scenario for passing credentials to a device?

Company IT departments often operate an MDM solution and internal mobile apps. Then they push user certificates to enrolled corporate devices via MDM so employees will experience single sign-on when using the internal mobile apps.

This is unrelated to Managed App Configuration

Thank you for your quick response.

How do a generic app (not internal app) access certificates installed via MDM?

Hello, Thanks for the very useful article. I want to create my own MDM server but I don't know how can I do that. Can you help me, please? Or do you have any articles about this?

Excellent resource! I was wondering if you have additional resources on creating your own MDM server. There's TONS of documentation on WHAT mdm can do, but nothing on HOW to do it.

Hi Andrew,

all MDM providers have to implement Apple's Mobile Device Management Protocol. Here is the link to its documentation: developer.apple.com/business/documentation/MDM-Pr…

Cheers, Marco
