I'm trying to find out if it is possible on the iOS Developer Enterprise Program to remotely add a home screen bookmark to a website. For example: a user can visit a website and add a shortcut to that webpage to their home screen in Mobile Safari via the Share context menu and picking "Add to Homescreen". I want to be able to reproduce this remotely to all the devices under my control as a matter of automation. I understand that Apple have a Mobile Device Management Protocol (MDM) that can be used to install a configuration profile to devices. The documentation lists the following about configuration profiles: > A configuration profile contains a number of settings that you can > specify, including: > - Restrictions on device features - Wi-Fi settings - VPN settings - Email server settings - Exchange settings - LDAP directory service settings - CalDAV calendar service settings - Web clips Credentials and keys So there's nothing there about home screen configuration. Is there any way of remotely adding home screen bookmarks to iOS devices? ---------- *PS. I'm aware that a work around to this is to create a browser wrapper application and remotely push this app. However, that is not what I wish to do.*

I joined a paid Apple Developer Enterprise Program last two years with **admin access**, recently I found I don't have the certificate & provisioning profiles page permissions anymore. The user access page had been moved from developer.apple.com to appstoreconnect.apple.com last year for enterprise program account. Here is my finding: However, I **couldn't find the team entry in the team list** in site [https://developer.apple.com/account](https://developer.apple.com/account) , are there any other ways to check out the certificate list? I checked the [help page](https://help.apple.com/developer-account/) and no luck, any helps? **UPDATE** After inspecting the network requests for appstoreconnect and developer.apple.com about the team list. * AppStoreConnect: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/olympus/v1/session * AppleDeveloper: https://developer.apple.com/services-account/QH65B2/account/getTeams My expected team object just didn't be shown in AppleDeveloper response, maybe this is a logic bug of Apple?

The minimum iOS SDK requirement for apps submitted to the App Store at present is iOS 14 SDK Is there a minimum supported iOS SDK version in general for devices running iOS 15? For example for enterprise apps not distributed via the App Store?

As per [Apple Developer Program](https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/) website, an organisation can enroll in **Apple Developer Program** and **Apple Developer Enterprise Program**. Is it possible for a company to be enrolled in both at the same time? For instance, if the company has apps that are meant for internal distribution only, but also has other apps which are targeted at customers and are distributed via the App Store.

We are facing an issue while deployment of our enterprise iOS application. We are following the documentation from Apple link - https://help.apple.com/deployment/ios/#/apda0e3426d7 We have followed the below steps, • Created an ipa with our enterprise app provisioning profile. • Created a manifest file that points to ipa and png files • Created an html with hyperlink to - itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://location.company.com/sites/mobile/Files/Mobile/deploy/manifest.plist Hosted the html, ipa, manifest and png files in a folder in the server https://location.company.com . The following mime type is in the web server .plist -> application/xml .ipa -> application/octet-stream We instructed our employees to access the download page, in the following way, 1. Open https://location.company.com . It will as for userid and password. Need to login. 2. Display a page which have install app link. 3. Tap on the link to install the app. When I trying to click on the link, I am getting an error: Cannot connect to I tried to download the plist file from my iOS browser. It is working fine. The device log in the Xcode shows, the below log. > Jun 23 15:17:15 TOM-iPhone itunesstored : Could not load download > manifest with underlying error: Error Domain=SSErrorDomain Code=2 > "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" > UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot connect to iTunes Store} I have checked with our IT team and confirmed that the certificates are valid. But it is worked when I moved the plist, ipa and png files to dropbox and the link is itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/55yozabctc2npd6/manifest.plist Only difference between these two what I feel is iTunes can access the link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/55yozabctc2npd6/manifest.plist directly. But iTunes cannot directly access the link - https://location.company.com/sites/mobile/Files/Mobile/deploy/manifest.plist , as it has an authentication page in between. That means if I open a fresh browser and try to open link - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/55yozabctc2npd6/manifest.plist , it download the file in my iPhone browser. But if I try the same with the link https://location.company.com/sites/mobile/Files/Mobile/deploy/manifest.plist it ask me for user name and password. Any help much appreciated.

My employer uses the Blackberry UEM client to control our BYOD devices. I was enrolled in this program until they changed their BYOD management policies. I then dis-enrolled my device. I was not comfortable with them changing the password policies on my phone, requiring periodic password changes and being able to sync contacts and remote wipe, so I picked up an iPad for work purposes. The iPad had me bring my phone near the device during initial setup, and was able to set up my Apple ID with no problem. I did not migrate my apps or data. I installed the Blackberry UEM client and it proceeded to do all the annoying changes on my iPad. All good. My surprise was when I went back to my iPhone, there were new applications installed on it. Three UEM components "Connectivity", "Access", "Symphony", and some MS Office components "Teams", "Business", "AIP Viewer". There were however also applications that I installed on the iPad without using the UEM client: "Powerpoint" and the "Visio Viewer"... although come to think of it I may have *attempted* to install them using the UEM and failed. These are not *all* the UEM components from the iPad... which is also weird. The Blackberry apps seem to be unconfigured and unusable. The MS office components have no license, so operate only as viewers. My concern is: - how could these apps have been installed on my iPhone? - How do I ensure that the remote wipe capabilities etc, cannot act on my iPhone? I hesitate on this question because it's a bit tech-support like, but the control of my own devices is important to me. A tech support L1 would certainly tell me in an abundance of caution and lack of knowledge, that yes, magic connects everything and I need a new Apple ID on the iPad or something, but I'm hoping to find a more technical answer as to how I can ensure that my iPhone (and Macbook??) can't be controlled via UEM's grasp on my iPad simply because they use the same Apple ID or something.

My company has been an Apple Enterprise developer for a number of years. We've built a handful of apps that are used by the company's employees, and we distribute them using a system called AirWatch. That's worked fine for us so far. Now we want to also offer apps on the Apple App Store for the general consumer to be able to make use of. I have, of course, been unable to publish to the app store using our Enterprise account. That I understand, as the comparison matrix of account types clearly states an Enterprise Account can't distribute on the app store. What I don't understand is why I am also unable to sign up for a new Developer account as an Organization. Apple rejected our application citing our existing developer account. The key phrase in the rejection notice is this: > We’ve withdrawn this enrollment because MY COMPANY NAME is already a member of the Apple Developer Program. Companies may hold only one membership in the Apple Developer Program. Is that it? We chose Enterprise first, and we're stuck? Is there truly no way to offer apps to your own employees and then allow customers to access a different application as well? That seems rather short sighted. Surely the big banks get around this somehow. We've asked Apple, but so far have not received any answers. This can't be as uncommon as it looks when I have searched Google for answers. Here's the complete rejection notice: > Hello XXXXXXXXX, > > My name is Kelsey with Apple Developer Program Support. I am > contacting you regarding enrollment ID: XXXXXXXXXXX. > > We’ve withdrawn this enrollment because MY COMPANY NAME > is already a member of the Apple Developer Program. Companies may > hold only one membership in the Apple Developer Program. Please > contact the team agent of your company's existing membership to be > added to the development team. If you do not know who the team agent > is, please provide your contact information. I will forward it to him > or her at your request. > > If you have any further questions, feel free to respond to this email > and I’d be happy to assist. > > Best regards, > > Kelsey > Apple Inc I suppose it is possible that she is really saying that we already have an account in the regular Developer Program, and she is not referencing our Enterprise Program account at all.

At the recent WWDC19 seminar, Apple made some drastic new changes to the Enterprise program, and Apple is making it now mandatory that all clients use the new Apple Business Manager process. Without going into specifics, for about 80% our clients, we are using two umbrella Enterprise licenses to create provisioning profiles for our clients. Apple used to be relaxed about this and ... although not recomended ...noone really said anything, but now Apple is really cracking down on this. With this risk in mind, my dev team and I are trying get the respective clients to enroll themselves (with our guidance) with a new Enterprise license for themselves. The client would fully own the license themselves, and just add my Tech lead and myself as developers to the group. However, this process has not been successful. I am just curious what others experience has been? Others in this forum that are mobile app contractors must be impacted by this as well, and proactively investigating contingency plans. Are you getting your clients to purchase their own Enterprise licenses, or are you going down this Apple Business Manager Path? As I mentioned above, we have tried getting one of our clients to enroll for an Enterprise license for their internal employees, but it seems the mere mention that a 3rd party contractor is building them an app, raises alarm bells for Apple and they instantly reject the client’s application. I suspect that this same negative result will come from all our client’s requests. In short, I am curious how others are handling this dilemma, and what has your success has been moving clients to use Apple’s new Business Manager?

Been looking at answers related to business giving IPhone to it's employees for business usage and related problems (e.g. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/19966/small-business-iphone-deployment ), it seems the simplest way is to just hand them the phone to be set up by the user themselves. The only problem would be if the phone becomes connected to personal apple id rather than an apple id of the enterprise owning the phone then there might be problems when the phone is being retested and passed on to the next employee. Or is this completely false? Sorry I am a windows user.

I have a question that I wanted clarity on. As shown below, I have an Apple Enterprise account that has a membership expiration date of March 13, 2020 And within that membership, I have a Enterprise certificate that expires 2020/06/21, and another that expires 2022/10/01 This means that any provisioning profiles that I create will have to fit between now and a year out. So if I make a provisioning profile that is linked to the certificate that expires 2020/06/21, given this is less than a year, the provisioning profile will expire on the same day the certificate expires (2020/06/21). So this would be a bad idea. However, a provisioning profile linked to the 2nd license of 2022/10/01, would expire a year from today-1. So it would expire Oct 15, 2020. This is the better idea. And …. if I do not pay the membership fee of $299 on March 13, 2020 though, will both the certificates above also expire. I would assume so. Is my understanding correct?

I have an enterprise app on my iPhone, and it states it will be verified until it is deleted. But today, all of a sudden it stopped working and refuses to re-verify. How can I fix this?

1. **Can my admin manage my iPad** (download programs, change settings, etc.) **without me knowing?** (Configuring it so that I cannot tell that it's managed.) My iPad is running iOS 12, and there are no messages in settings telling me that it is managed. It was set up and purchased by me, by the way. It's already connected to my personal Apple ID. Edit: Can they manage my iPad if my only connection to them is that I'm signed into a managed Google Account (example@company.com) in Chrome? (sync)

I am a sole trader and I have developed an iPad app that I'm going to sell to several companies independently. They are small companies (<50 employees) that have nothing to do with IT and it would be a nightmare for them to register with the Developer Enterprise Program. That's why I'm probably going to register for each of them. 1- Can I register for several Enterprise Programs with my Apple ID, or does it have to be done by someone inside the companies (with a different ID each time that then adds me as as admin)? 2- In that case, am I going to be able to register on their behalf (if they provide me with their apple id + password? or if I appoint myself as the contact for Apple?) 3- Do I even need that program to deploy less than 100 apps to iPads?

We are purchasing computers in the next week on our Enterprise network and will have a mix of Macs and PCs. We are currently running our AD server on Windows Server 2008R2. We use folder redirection and mounting for all of our users, and would want the folder to automount on login for Apple. We have a LAN and also a radius authenticated wireless network on PEAP. I have successfully joined the AD with my MB Pro, but cannot login to AD due to the wireless not working before login. Has anyone ran across this issue before or know of a fix?

I have access to our company Apple Developer Enterprise Program account as *Admin*. The guy with the *Account Holder* role left the company a few weeks ago, but his Apple is still linked to the account as Account Holder. How do I change my access type from Admin to Account Holder?

Our Windows administrator deploys a root CA certificate to all the machines through [Group Policies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_Policy) , which works very well in a corporate setting. Is there something similar to this we can use for our Apple devices? Currently we are manually installing the root certificate on every Mac machine when there is an update or we purchase a new machine.

My company has regular/yearly Apple Developer Program membership. At the moment I'm developing an app for another company, to be used only in-house. They are asking me to give them a signed IPA file. Through the question: - [Xcode : Can't Export in-house app .. provisioning profile error](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47253899/xcode-cant-export-in-house-app-provisioning-profile-error) I found out that I need to be enrolled in the Apple Developer Enterprise Program. Now my query is, if my company takes the Apple Developer Enterprise membership, and we distribute and sign the app for in-house use, can my customer (the other company) use the IPA file with the signing from my Apple Developer Enterprise account for in-house use? Or must the siging be with their Enterprise account?

I am trying to register under the Enterprise Developer program but I get a response that the website needs to be working. Does the website need to be a company name domain or can it be an app name domain?

I enrolled in an Apple Enterprise account, and after 13 days I got a call from Apple and they verified my company. They then told me that they will call me again for further verification. Its been 20 days and still no response. I called Apple for the status of my account, but they only have one answer: your enrollment is still being processed -- don't worry. After several months I’m not getting the feeling Apple is going to approve this. Can I take any actions to expedite this?

I have tried for 2 weeks to complete enrollment in the [Apple Developer Enterprise Program](https://developer.apple.com/programs/enterprise/) (US$ 299), but halfway through each attempt (10-12 by last count) the application switches from **Enterprise** to **Developer** (US$ 99). Is there any **administrative override** for this program? I have re-applied 15-20 times by now.
