Thank you for replying so swiftly.
We are using Managed App Config, and the issue comes from how our MDM vendor handles app installation. They state that if an app is added via URL (as would be the case with a Public Unlisted App), it is treated as unmanaged. Because of this, no MDM commands can be applied (the app only shows up in the device’s MDM catalog).
The reason I mentioned ABM is that the vendor’s proposed solution is to add the app through ABM, which makes it managed again and restores functionality. Unfortunately, due to company policy, this approach is not available to us.
Your clarification about declarative app configuration and legacy managed app configuration not being applicable via a .mobileconfig makes sense, and confirms that this path isn’t possible as a workaround.
That leaves us with only two potential options:
Ask the MDM vendor to treat URL-added apps as managed, or
Republish the application as a Public Listed App.
And no other workaround is possible?
