Since iPadOS 26.5, when my application is running in background (non visible but with location fetching active in background), then my users are not able to update the application from their MDM application.
The installation stays frozen, until the user manually kills my app.
While in iPasOS 26.2 and older iOS, the MDM was able to terminate and update my app.
My understanding:
The MDM app can only terminate the non-interactive applications (maxTerminationResistance:NonInteractive).
My application running in background with the location activated is seen as interactive.
TestFlight and Appstore can terminate all applications (maxTerminationResistance:Absolute), so they are able to terminate and update my application.
Can you confirm this has changed in the ios26 (after iPadOS26.2)?
What are the recommendations to allow my users to update my app?
