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,

Does any Apple API support the Location management for the business? I am interested in if I am able to integrate an Apple business into my application. The first thing I care about is business location management (I would like to create/edit the location via an API call)

We are an MDM and are trying to migrate to the new App and Book Management APIs. In this doc mentioned below it asking us to send the public key generated to my Apple contact in a plain-text file. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/app_and_book_management/apps_and_books_for_organizations/generating_developer_tokens?language=objc I'm not sure who my Apple contact is? I already understand how to generate JWT token for the api.ent.apple.com. I would like to know who can authorize the public key for the organization. Thank you

I initiated a change in my account entity type from an individual to an organization about two weeks ago. However, the change doesn’t seem to have taken effect yet. Can anyone provide information on the typical duration for this process? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

On WWDC2023 support for Custom OIDC Identity Providers in Apple Business Manager was announced. Currently I'm not able to configure this, only Azure and Google are available in the settings. Is this already available? If not, is there a date when it will be available? Thanks

I am implementing the Mac Assessment Mode feature on an Electron application. I have successfully activated it (verified through the assessmentSessionDidBegin function), but the application hangs on a gray screen. Additionally, I tried adding the Calculator app and VS Code (which is built with Electron) to the whitelist. The Calculator app can display, but VS Code cannot. I suspect that helper processes (Render, GPU, ...) may be blocked by this mode, preventing the application from displaying content. Therefore, I would like to ask if The Mac Assessment Mode supports Electron applications. Thank you for reviewing.

If I want to run Apple Search Ads (ASA) in two different countries, with one country managed by an agency and the other managed by myself, can I set up two separate ASA accounts for the same app?

We are the client of a vendor who built a custom app for us. We use mobile device management to automate application updates. We push 45 apps and 44 work flawlessly. The 45th is this app and we always have to manually force it to update which causes drastic issues when the app is updated. After troubleshooting, it appears there is some type of mismatch between the store version number and what the device sees. The store will show the app as 1.2.3.4 but the device shows 1.2.3 when I force it to update. The vendor shows that they fill out the version as 1.2.3 and the build number as 4 which then produces 1.2.3.4. Are they filling this information out correctly? Are there other fields that are required for them to fill out elsewhere with the version number? Thank you

Hi! I am developing a word game for children. It is intended to be educational and help children pass the time by playing. I use UIReferenceLibraryViewController ( I use a UIViewControllerRepresentable as the app is essentially in SwiftUI) to show a definition of a word that the child comes across during play. This part works fine - except that the view contains a button to look on the web, and another to manage dictionaries - both of which I do not want children to be able to do. How do I disable these buttons? Alternatively, is there a way to just get the dictionary definition text and show that in a custom view?

Is it legal to use Apple's official technical documentation for training GPTs, and if so, where can I download the PDF version of the official documents?

We're trying to make our Content Filter solution work on Shared iPads. We leverage the Network Extension framework, more specifically the Content Filter Providers. On regular, 1:1 iPads, this works perfectly fine. However, on Shared iPads we see some weird behaviour. Upon logging in with a MAID everything initially seems fine. However, in about 5 to 10 seconds the user is automatically logged out and an error indicating "a connection to iCloud could not be made" is presented to the user. After investigating the logs it turns out this is caused by the fact that the network is unreachable. For example: Jan 19 00:33:04 cloudd(CFNetwork)[5867] <Error>: Task <F5DC7C46-422D-4265-A364-B3C859BF6291>.<1> finished with error [-1009] Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1009 UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=50, NSUnderlyingError=0xefe89ffc0 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1009 UserInfo={_NSURLErrorNWPathKey=unsatisfied (Path was denied by NECP policy), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, dns, uses wifi, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=50, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1}}, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=<private>, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=<private>, NSLocalizedDescription=<private>, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=<private>, NSErrorFailingURLKey=<private>, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1} Test device: iPad Pro (11-inch) running iPadOS 17.2 (21C62) My assumption: It looks like the filter providers start "too late". In the meantime the device is trying to reach the network, but since there is a Content Filter configuration in place all traffic is denied until the extension is started (and the completionHandler has been called with a nil error). I can see in the logs that, about 5 seconds after the home screen is visible, the Content Filter Providers are starting: ... Jan 19 00:52:54 neagent(NetworkExtension)[7086] <Notice>: Extension request with data extension <our filterData bundle ID> started with identifier 63576D2C-A484-4D07-9753-ADC99BFDB7A6 ... Jan 19 00:52:55 neagent(NetworkExtension)[7086] <Notice>: Extension request with control extension <our filterControl bundle ID> started with identifier 51D19516-C860-48B8-AB83-0F43D5F613CB ... Is my assumption correct? Are the Content Filter provider even officially supported by Apple on Shared iPads? Is there anything we can do to fix this issue?

The profiles command shows them, but the Store file/directory is blocked off from access (which, I suppose, kinda makes sense). (We are in the process of getting customers to upgrade the profile, and if I can see whether our profile has an entry, then I can behave differently.)

I am a beta tester on behalf of the College Board for the Bluebook app, which administers the digital SAT. For the first admissions year when most universities are no longer going test-optional, more university-bound sixth-form pupils sit the digital SAT. Some students who are sitting on the SAT could receive an unfair advantage due to them reverse-engineering the app using Ghidra and using that to make a duplicate version of the app which will show correct answers and/or disable Assessment mode to cheat on the exam. I need to know if it is possible, if the student has prior Computer science knowledge, and what is the procedure for doing the following: Disabling assessment mode through terminal function or another internal coding source Reverse engineering the Bluebook app, and recreating it through Xcode and editing the code to automatically fill out the correct answer Reverse engineering the Bluebook app, and recreating it through Xcode and editing the code to disable assessment mode as a whole Please tell me as this will give those who cheat a severely unfair advantage over those who studied hard for it

After I submitted our app, it was rejected with reasons: `"Regarding 5.1.1, the following fields or actions are required for registration but do not appear to be directly relevant to your app’s core functionality: Thai National ID Phone number. To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to either remove all required fields that are not relevant to the app or make those fields optional."` I need the two fields above. How can I resolve it? I asked reviewer but they said they cannot help detail feature for us. About phone numbers, our system wants to send SMS to them, change passwords, and send notification. Step: (edit profile -> edit phone number -> verify OTP) to change password you can check it. About Thai National ID, do you think it can be suitable when we use it for KYC, and verify customers? Actually, when the user registers a new account, if we do not approve the account, means KYC is unsuccess, the user will not use any main features (Saving and interest pay invoice). We are using Thai national ID and password to login.

Hi, I am trying to delete a VPP application from our MDM solution, but it is failing with the error: The app failed to delete. Enure that the app is not associated with any VPP license in Apple Business Manager and try again. I have revoked ALL the app licenses from our MDM and it shows License not found, when checking. However in ABM it still shows a small number 'in use'. Is there a easy\clever way I can delete the 'in use' licenses from ABM or somehow send a revoke command via API to revoke those licenses in ABM? Thanks for looking

I would like to know how secure the communication between the reseller and organisation. Because we are providing organisation id and getting the reseller id information. Post providing organisation id, did reseller able to see any information about the organisation or not? If reseller able to see the information then need to know what are all the information they able to see it. Thanks.
