Hi everyone,
I’m working on a concept for an iOS app that would allow a user to remotely control an Enterprise iOS device, similar to how AnyDesk or TeamViewer work on desktop.
I understand that apps like TeamViewer for iOS offer screen sharing, and some level control but not a full level control.
Before I invest further in development, I’d like to clarify a few points:
- Is there any official Apple-supported way (public or private API) to allow remote control of an iOS device?
- Has Apple ever approved apps that allow true remote control of iOS (not just screen sharing)?
- If full control is not allowed, what are the permitted alternatives (e.g. screen broadcast via ReplayKit, remote assistance mode, etc.)?
- Would such an app be considered for enterprise distribution only (via MDM), or is there a potential App Store path?
Any insight or experience from developers who’ve tried this would be very appreciated. Thanks!
