Block iOS Updates

BjarneK

Hi,

we have a customer who wants to disable iOS updates by default and only wants to force the update when the developer of the company permit it.
The customer doesn't use SMC at the moment and would use the newest version if he decides to buy it.

I could not find an option for blocking the update in the administration manual and could only find this 2y old post regarding the topic:
https://community.sophos.com/products/mobile/f/sophos-mobile-control/10728/how-block-restrict-ios-firmware-updates---smc-server-version-5-1-3-rev-3921

Since we can now force an update I hope that we can also block it.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks

    this would be nice however i suspect that apple would not allow this to happen on the devices, however if they use internal network you can make a dns change so that 

    Mesu.apple.com resolves to an unknown IP so that devices connected to the network cannot get to the updating server.
