enable Declarative management on DEP device
Hi, I am trying to enable declarative management on my device ( it is already enrolled as a sharedIpad with DEP). When sendind the command, the device's response contains an error. It is not acknowledged. Either on the device channel or on the user channel. The device channel returns : 'ErrorChain': [{'ErrorCode': 4, 'ErrorDomain': 'RMErrorDomain', 'LocalizedDescription': 'Feature Disabled: Device Channel.'}], 'Status': 'Error', and the user channel returns : 'ErrorChain': [{'ErrorCode': 12021, 'ErrorDomain': 'MDMErrorDomain', 'LocalizedDescription': '“DeclarativeManagement” is not a valid request type.', 'USEnglishDescription': '“DeclarativeManagement” is not a valid request type.'}], 'Status': 'Error', Does DEP device support declarative management? Thanks.

Regarding User Enrollment Testing
Hi Team, The User Enrollment introduced by Apple back was really great I was trying to test out that .As per the implementation details provided by apple for Simple Authentication - User Enrollment Flow. Below are the steps I followed to implement it. Step 1) Making a /.well-known/com.apple.remotemanagement url and sending a json as for byod which apple has detected successfully. Step 2) Apple making a POST request to BaseServer URL of MDM to get enrollment profile ( At this Step as there is not Authorization header I sent a 401 with WWW-Authenticate header with scheme and url as mentioned by apple) Step 3) Apple has requested With GET to get the html page to show to the user from the url mentioned in WWW-Authenticate header. Step 4) Here there is a tweak the HTML page I actually shown doesn't contains any form as it is for testing purposes. I Simply had a button which upon clicking sends a POST to my url with empty JSON using axios library where from the server I sent a 308 redirect with Location header as mentioned by apple apple-remotemanagement-user-login://authentication-results?access-token=dXNlci1pZGVudGl0eQ Where after I expect the ASWebAuthenticationSession to end and apple to start Second Enrollment attempt with acces token as Authorization Bearer token But the Screen showing the HTML page doesn't go away and neither apple started any steps to get the Enrollment profile from MDM server . Am I commiting any mistakes here.Could you please help on going with it.

WiFi Lock (aka 'Join only Wi-Fi networks installed by a Wi-Fi payload') issues
I am experiencing issues when pushing the "WiFi Lock" profile via MDM or the "Join only Wi-Fi networks installed by a Wi-Fi payload'" Restriction via Apple configurator 2. I am pushing a WiFi Authentication profile along side it which means that the wifi lock profile is suppose to force the device to only be able to connect to the wifi authentication profile that was pushed to the device via MDM. However, what end up happening, the device "forgets" or does not recognize the pushed wifi auth profile that it has after device reboot. It ends up not showing any available wifi networks and wont allow the device to connect to wifi. The only way i can fix it, is if i push the wifi authentication profile to the device again via cellular. It then remembers it and will connect. But as soon as the device reboots and sometimes it does not even need to reboot it will forget it. What could be going on with this?

How to get developer token for api.ent.apple.com?
We are working with MDM service using VPP API, and trying to migrate Legacy APIs to new App and Book Management APIs. This document says Send the public key you generate to your Apple contact in a plain-text file. Do not share the private key. Also provide a brief description of your use case and product. I generated a key-pair and sent the public key to Apple Developer Program support, however they didn't know how to handle it. What means "your Apple contact" here? I already understand how to generate JWT token for the api.ent.apple.com. I want to know who authorize the public key for the organization. Thank you,

Intune Auto-Update Issue Following Xamarin Project Migration
We're currently facing an issue with Intune not automatically updating/downloading the updated build/app to end-user ios devices. It's worth noting that we've recently migrated the Xamarin project to a .NET-style SDK in this version. Previously, the app used to update automatically without any problems. We'd appreciate it if you could help us understand what might be causing this issue.

Researcher in Spatial Computing / HCI Looking to Use Enterprise APIs on Vision Pro for HCI Research-Only.
I am a spatial computing / XR and Human-Computer Interaction researcher from a private university. I am interested in using the vision pro's newly-exposed camera access to develop and evaluate new algorithms for computational perception. ( WWDC session here: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc24/10139 ) I understand this is targeted at large enterprises, but I would like to know if by some means as a researcher affiliated with an educational institution I could develop private for-development-only applications for the vision pro with the enterprise APIs enabled. The intent is not to publish apps, but rather to contribute to the research community through R&D. However, to my knowledge, I would be ineligible as a normal "business" as I do not employee 100+ employees. I am an independent researcher, and on occasion, I collaborate within small research groups within my university that focus on this kind of camera-based perception algorithm development. Could someone from Apple comment? Thank you.

iOS18 beta enterprise certificate trust issue
When I trusted my certificate in 'Setting'->'VPN & Device Management', my device reboot automatically. After reboot, it showed that "developer of My Team is not trusted in this iPhone", but the app is "verified" in the second column. The UI looks like: iOS18 beta: First Col: Trust "My Team" Second Col: MyApp Verified Other versions: First Col: Delete App Second Col: MyApp Verified What's more, my app has plugins(extensions), my app can run normally while the extension is not able to be pulled up on iOS18 beta.

App Custom URL to be blocked to Managed Apps only
My application supports Custom URL Schema which is used to perform an open operation. My application is used as a helper app for MDM, hence it will be installed as a Managed Application. I want only the other Managed Applications to be able to invoke the Custom URL Schema and not allow it for unmanaged applications. Is there any such provision provided by Apple MDM protocol?

Parental Content Filtering MDM Payload causes internet issues on Mac Silicon devices with OS 14 and above
Since the release of macOS 14.0, we have encountered issues with the Content Filtering MDM Payload. This problem is unusual but can be resolved by restarting the system. Prerequisites: macOS 14 or higher Any Mac with a Silicon (ARM) processor Restrictions Payload and Parental Content Filtering Payload must be installed on the device, either manually or through any MDM service Issue Details: When the Parental Content Filtering Payload is removed after installation, it causes internet issues, and browsers display "The site can't be reached". This affects applications as well, with Safari being the only application that continues to work. The issue can be resolved by either re-adding the Content Filtering Payload or restarting the Mac.

Apple Login fails with Managed Apple IDs on supervised iPhones with iOS 17.3 version
We noticed that Apple Login fails if we try to login with Managed Apple ID on iOS 17.2 & 17.3 This issue could have been introduced in iOS 17 but we did not have iOS 17.0 or 17.1 to validate this. There are few prerequisites to this: Should be a supervised device. It can be enrolled in ABM or ASM. Apple ID should be Managed Apple ID Device should have a passcode policy Device should have “allowListedAppBundleIDs” added in the “com.apple.applicationaccess” payload If either of the above conditions are not met, then the issue does not happen. If the device is set up in the above way and we try to login with Managed Apple ID, then the login fails. Please refer the recording at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XG17loAuH_GB1IyGdwD8txjkHZWqGeD1/view?usp=drive_link We reproduced the issue three times and got the log files: Issue occurred at: 21st March 2024 at 19:54:58 IST a. Log file name: sysdiagnose_2024.03.21_19-55-26+0530_iPhone-OS_iPhone_21D50(07.54.58 pm).tar.gz b. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nk-cQPrVEZrAUgVmrxPCsSRDd4aNF8eK/view?usp=drive_link Issue occurred at: 21st March 2024 at 19:59:44 IST a.

Log file name: sysdiagnose_2024.03.21_20-03-39+0530_iPhone-OS_iPhone_21D50(08.03.27 pm).tar.gz b. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zlLLMd0ugJoiZtmpWlarREFDl1vjZoWP/view?usp=drive_link During the above tests, this was the setup Passcode Policy: a. requireAlphanumeric: true b. minLength: 13 c. allowSimple: false allowListedAppBundleIDs: This can be anything but atleast one of them should be enabled. For example a. com.apple.AppStore b. com.apple.MobileAddressBook c. com.apple.calculator d. com.apple.camera e. com.apple.DocumentsApp f. com.apple.facetime What results I expected: The user should be able to login without an issue What results I actually saw: The user does not login We also created a ticket in Feedback assistant in March but haven't received any response: FB13694721
