Hello, I was publishing for my organization a new IOS App (for IPhone devices). This App use intranet endpoints to consume apis and auth services, and will be published under our company store and using our MDM. The idea is that the MDM install an in-app vpn when you install the aplication, and it works in the IOS device. During revision phase in applestore connect, the app was rejected, and they expose that app does not work (because if you haven't conexion to intranet, the app is in white and can't be used). What is the proper way to proceed? I mean, I has been 4 days talking in the revision comments, and they don't provide me a clear solution. They told me that the app should have a "demo" version. But, what I consider we can do is expose temporally to internet same services that the app use, and update a binary file using internet ednpoints to be validated, and later, change them to intranet endpoint in a new binary, but I don't know if for the second revision I would get a new rejection... They didn't provide me feeback about what to do in this cases, and redirected me to this forum... The idea is only use this application under our VPN organization, and only use intranet endpoint for security reasons we have under the application. Do you have a same issue or you know better about the way to proceed?

Hello! We already have a public app on the AppStore. And we are trying to create another app to distribute to organizations privately. Now, we did some digging and have some queries about the whole process which are as follows: What type of account do we need as the developer team, meaning which programs we need to enroll to and what type of account does our customer organization need to use the app, privately? We do not have a hundred or more employees which is an eligibility criterion for enrollment in the Enterprise Program. How can we proceed to distribute apps to organizations privately with out situation? Do the customer organizations need Enterprise account for each app we publish? Thanks!

Hello there, I have a developer account that the Apple team terminated due to not renewing at that time. But for the last 3 months, I have been trying to contact Apple support to reinstate the account but didn't get any response from their side. So there are any possibilities to get my account back.

Are the codes generated by the business portal always limited to the country in which the DUMS code is registered? I have clients who have only one office and therefore can request only one DUMS code but have employees in various countries. How can I generate codes, from the business portal, valid for all countries? Has it become possible to do this? What alternatives can I evaluate for distributing a private app?

When we specified a "Unlisted app" by InstallApplication(MDM command), the response state is NeedsRedemption. This is the request and response. ■Request <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"[]> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CommandUUID</key> <string>dd3fe1a1-a1a7-4987-8201-447e815bd6f9</string> <key>Command</key> <dict> <key>RequestType</key> <string>InstallApplication</string> <key>Attributes</key> <dict> <key>Removable</key> <false /> </dict> <key>Identifier</key> <string>******</string> <key>ChangeManagementState</key> <string>Managed</string> <key>InstallAsManaged</key> <true /> <key>ManagementFlags</key> <integer>4</integer> </dict> </dict> </plist> ■Response <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"[]> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CommandUUID</key> <string>dd3fe1a1-a1a7-4987-8201-447e815bd6f9</string> <key>Identifier</key> <string>******</string> <key>State</key> <string>NeedsRedemption</string> <key>Status</key> <string>Acknowledged</string> <key>UDID</key> <string>00008110-001E74C814EA401E</string> </dict> </plist> I think non-VPP apps don't need redemption codes.

My team has a Mac desktop we use as a build server to do tests, packaging, codesigning, and notarization. The service was kicked off inside a cron job, but we started encountering issues with codesigning (codesign errSecInternalComponent). Eventually we tried turning the service into a LaunchAgent and codesigning now works, presumably because it now has access to the user's keychains. However, this means the service doesn't start until someone logs the user into the console, which is pretty inconvenient at times. We are also finding that the machine is now inaccessible remotely, over SSH and VNC, until there's a console login at the physical host. Our institutional security policies require the use of FileVault and disallow auto-login, and our IT folks haven't suggested any workarounds. What is the recommended way to configure a Mac desktop as a headless server that can reboot without user interaction? We don't, and can't, use XCode. We develop a multi-platform application written in Java.

Problem Description: We are using manageVPPLicensesByAdamIdSrv API for assigning licenses for serial numbers. We get "Internal error - 9603" response for this API when assigning the API for valid adamID of an app. When using the same API other apps, this issue doesn't occur. AdamID: 720111835. The license is assigning properly for the same app in VPP License Management 2.0.0 + - Associate Assets API. Currently, we will not able to the new API. We overcame this issue by creating a new location token in the same organization and purchasing the same app in it and using it to assign the license to device for the same app which is successful. Kindly help us with this issue.

Problem Description: A App Store (VPP - B2B) app distributed to a device through MDM is not installing. The "InstalledApplicationList" response doesn't have the app in it. The "ManagedApplicationList" response has the app with status as "ManagedButUninstalled". But this cannot happen since there is a restriction - allowAppRemoval is set to false for this device which prevents the removal of installed apps in that device. This is applied before the app was distributed to MDM. Steps to reproduce: Enroll a device in MDM. Use restrictions payload[com.apple.applicationaccess] with a key "allowAppRemoval" set to "true". Distribute an app to device. Perform operations to fetch "InstalledApplicationList" and "ManagedApplicationList". Expected Result: The device should install the app successfully and ManagedApplicationList response should return "Managed" status for the app. Actual Result: The device doesn't install the app and "ManagedApplicationList" returns "ManagedButUninstalled" status.

We encountering an issue with HasUpdateAvailable Key is not updating in InstalledApplicationList when the newer app version is available for the device to update from App Store. Problem Description: When an App Store app or Custom app has a newer version released, the HasUpdateAvailable Key in Installed Application List is never updating. In InstalledApplicationList the HasUpdateAvailable value is False even when a newer app version is available to update.

We are building an app that users with library cards would be able to have access our content of ebooks and audio books to borrow for a limited time. The users with these registered library card numbers sign in ( would not get charged by us ) search within the list of contents select the book and borrow it, book will be delivered and downloaded in their in app library After the borrowed expiry date, the content will be removed from their library. I am not sure if it's considered B2B2C or not as there's no transaction in-app. Is there a document that I can read on Apple T&Cs for this business model?

Hi Apple community, I am writing this regarding device based activation lock can enable on device which is in 30 days DEP provisional period. Within the DEP provisional period, I can remove the remote management on my device. So the device is considered to use as my personal device ,not organization owned. Since MDM device based activation lock can enable during this provisional period, The device no longer be referred to use as my personal device also . what is the use of that 30 days? Kindly educate us on this case to whether this an intended options or a bug. Thanks in Advance

Hello, while I can install VPP app on idevice with Apple Configurator, I can not find a way to do the same thing via cfgutil. Apple configurator registers device's serial number and installs app. While cfgutil only installs app and do not registers serial number. Does cfgutil support installing VPP apps?
