MDM SkipKeys for SIMSetup
I am looking into bypassing the following popup when setting up an iPhone 15 Pro: Would the SkipKey SIMSetup allow to bypass having the following window popup upon initial setup? So far all settings are bypassed during the initial setup of the phone and the application of Wi-Fi. The only issue present in the setup I want to achieve is prohibiting this window regarding eSIM set up.

AES Encryption Breaks Enrollment vs. 3DES
We are in the process of replacing the TripleDES algorithm with AES in our MDM solution. However, after switching the encryption algorithm, we encountered the following error on Apple devices during enrollment: Error: "-26275 error decrypting response payload (mdmclient(SCEP))" Do Apple devices support AES encryption during the enrollment process, or are there any known limitations that prevent its use? Technical Details: During enrollment, when the device attempts to install the Management Profile, it requests the MDM server to retrieve the device certificate from the SCEP URL. We send the certificate by creating Enveloped CMS content, using TripleDES as the algorithm identifier. If we switch the algorithm to AES, we observe the error mentioned above. We are also using TripleDES when preparing the CMS content for the enrollment profile, which works without issues.

iOS 18 allowVPNCreation restriction causes apps can't use network
A profile that contains setting of allowVPNCreation is false was installed duiring activation in my requirements. The iOS version is 18. AllowVPNCreation is first, setting the app's network is second, the app can't use network. Setting the app's network is first, AllowVPNCreation is second, the app works well. For example: Scene 1 Step 1: Install a profile that contains a setting where allowVPNCreation is false during activation. Step 2: Complete activation and enter the main screen. Step 3: Tap App Store, the screen displays network unavailable, needs to be set in Setting. Step 4: Open the network setting for App Store, but still closed.And the network settings for other apps are all closed; Step 5: Remove the profile. Step 6: After a minute, opening the network setting for App Store is work. Result: AllowVPNCreation effects app's newtork after entering the system for the first time. It don't happen below iOS 18. Scene 2 Step 1: The app's network setting is ok. Step 2: Install a profile that contains a setting where allowVPNCreation is false. Result: No effect。The same result below iOS 18. Is this a bug or new features, how to handle?

Is It Possible to Revert an Apple Developer Account from Business to Personal?
I recently upgraded my Apple Developer account from a personal account to a business account. However, I would like to revert back to a personal account. The reason is that I plan to create a separate developer account for a company using a different company email, and I want to use my original account for publishing personal apps. Is it possible to change the account type back to personal? If so, what steps do I need to follow? If not, are there any other options I should consider? Thank you for your help!

App no longer available Pop-up
On October 4, 2024, the enterprise app we are using showed a "(app name) is no longer available" pop-up on certain devices and the app was not available. And if those users delete the app and reinstall it, "I can't install (app name) because I can't verify integrity, I can't install this app" pop up. The profile of the app was renewed in February this year, and membership, certificate, and profile were all not expired. Currently, the problem has been solved by re-deploying the app, Please tell me the cause of the phenomenon and how to take preventive measures.

Is this business model counted as in-app purchase?
Hello All, My team and I are developing a mobile application (offgrid) to help combat screen addiction. Our application will allow users through gamification, to challenge each other to stay off certain predetermined apps on their phone for a set amount of time and risk their own money. The money will act as a reinforcement to stay focused and off the application. Example: Jon challenges Jen to stay off Instagram for 1 hour for $5. If Jen accepts the challenge, she and Jon cannot go on Instagram. If Jen or Jon decides to click the Instagram app within the hour, the $5 automatically goes to the winner via Apple Pay or another service. If they complete the challenge and stay off Instagram then there is no exchange of money. I will also give the option for users to challenge each other and risk their money for a charity cause if someone loses. My question is, will the exchange of money count as an in-app purchase, or will the winner receive the full amount? Also, if the money goes to charity, will that count as an in-app purchase? Thanks!

Email profile stays in pending state in DEP devices
macOS devices- dep enrolled device - configured an email policy and it gets stuck on pending status. The rest of the policies and actions like lock device and scan device are executed successfully. While enrollment using DEP, if there is account creation config present in Dep configuration profile , At the time of enrollment we don't receive the user token and user channel is not present. The keys UserID and EnrollmentUserID in TokenUpdate is not present. As a result we can't successfully push the email policy. Is the inference correct or is there anything else we are missing out.

Device not responding to MDM actions
out of 37 devices, 7 are inactive( al are ios ). We have checked one of the devices and the broadcast message was sent successful. Additionally, Cx confirmed that the location history is shown properly. We restarted the device, checked the date and time, and found it to be correct. We also switched to a different network, but that doesn't change anything. The sync from the Hexnode app was successful. We reinstalled the MDM profile, yet it doesn't change anything. We renewed the APNs once and checked, but the scan device action remains pending.

How to get hardware information for Managed device attestation querying for iphone, ipad and AppleTv
Here https://github.com/apple/device-management/blobelease/mdm/commands/information.device.yaml#L3246 it is mentioned that for querying Managed attestation certificate the ios device needs to have A11 Bionic and later, Wanted to understand how to get this information programmatically i.e is Apple sending chip information for iphone and ipad devices as part of some sample ? or is there a way to query this information from the device ? Here https://github.com/apple/device-management/blobelease/mdm/commands/information.device.yaml#L3246 it is mentioned that for querying Managed attestation certificate the macos device needs to have Apple Silicon, using IsAppleSilicon https://github.com/apple/device-management/blobelease/mdm/commands/information.device.yaml#L357 property is fine ? Can we use this field to determine if the device is Apple silicon ? Same question for Apple TV as well - How to get the information if a device is having A12 Bionic and later ? and same for Apple watch, how to know if a device is S4 and later ?

Unacceptable, Dangerous Bugs with VPN configuration profiles.
I'm trying to set up a configuration profile on a supervised device for a kid's phone. I want to force a VPN 100% of the time except for local network activity and some specific domains. Or at the very least, have a few apps go outside the tunnel. Apple makes this IMPOSSIBLE even though according to the documentation it should be possible. The IKEv2 vpntype has a key "OnDemandUserOverrideDisabled" which is supposed to prevent a user from toggling off the vpn, which obviously defeats the purpose of having it. However, as other users have posted, this DOES NOT WORK. So anyone can just turn off the vpn and be connected to the internet unprotected. On the "AlwaysOn" vpntype, the element "ApplicationExceptions" which would allow you to list a few applications that can go outside the tunnel DOES NOT WORK. This is critical because so many domains automatically block vpn servers and it's a huge pain. Also local network activity also gets blocked, which makes it impossible to connect to local devices. And there's no split tunneling possible with this vpntype. So basically, it's impossible. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF APPLE DID THIS INTENTIONALLY TO KEEP KIDS ADDICTED AND IN DANGER SO THEY USE THE PHONE MORE.

External Data Use for Swift Student Challenge
Hello, Although the Swift Student Challenge for 2025 has not yet been announced and is not officially taking place, I have a question regarding last year’s rules in the Swift Student Challenge. This is, of course, assuming the rules will be similar if the challenge runs again next year. I am interested in utilizing CreateML to design a text classifier model. Given the substantial amount of data required for machine learning, am I allowed to outsource data from open-source libraries and/or social media platforms, provided that these resources abide by their terms of service? My primary concern is if I must create my own data as that will be time-consuming and more biased. Thank you, Jesse

About the Declarative Device Management Activation Update
Hi everyone, We are currently integrating Apple DDM into our existing MDM system and encountered an issue where an update to a declaration failed with the message: "Activation xxxxx is missing configurations." While we know how to fix the issue, I'm quite concerned about potential impacts. An incorrect activation could deactivate the current one, leading to the automatic removal of all profiles and apps. Given that unexpected server errors can occasionally occur, this could significantly impact end-users if their apps are suddenly removed. I'm looking for a way to prevent activations from "failing to update then lost everything" or a safer method to deploy updated version of activations, especially given the potential for unexpected server errors or logic bugs. This could significantly affect end-users if their apps suddenly disappear. If anyone has any insights, thoughts, or best practices to share regarding activation updates, I would greatly appreciate your input. Leo Chan
