Does SMC support Managed App Configuration to allow one to a push com.apple.configuration.managed dictionary to a managed (enterprise in-house) app?

Chris Guthrey

Please excuse the poorly worded title!  We have developed an in-house Enterprise iOS app, and would like to see if we can obtain device details that are normally hidden, except to managed devices.

The comment in this link: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/7560   states:

However, since you're writing an enterprise app, mobile device management (MDM) servers can query managed devices for device attributes such as the serial number using the DeviceInformation MDM command.

The README here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/sc2279/Listings/ReadMe_txt.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40013823-ReadMe_txt-DontLinkElementID_8 states:

Managed app configuration allows a Mobile Device Management (MDM) server to set a dictionary in the managed app’s NSUserDefaults to configure the app. Feedback such as critical errors can also be written by the app into its NSUserDefaults, so that it can be queried by an MDM server. This powerful mechanism allows enterprises and educational institutions to better manage applications from an MDM server.

Has anyone managed to successfully use the MDM Protocol "DeviceInformation" commands working with Sophos Mobile Control? (see page 41 of the MDM Protocol Reference here: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Mobile%20Device ) 

Thanks in advance for any assistance

    Hi Chris,

    I am not an Apple developer, but from the Sophos Mobile Control point of view, you are able to add customer parameters to an uploaded IPA file.

    This can be done by using the "Settings and VPN" button within an iOS application package.

    Not 100% sure if that is what you are looking for.

    Best regards

    Hi,

    When app settings are used for an iOS app, should I expect to see them in the Settings app?

    I have set settings for an uploaded app but they don't appear in the Settings app and don't seem to being read by the app either. How can I check that the settings are making it to the device? I've watched the device logs during installation and there was no mention of the settings.

    Regards,

    Chris
