Inquiry about Running Enterprise Apps in Killed State and MDM Payload Management
Inquiry about Running Enterprise Apps in Killed State and MDM Payload Management:- I am developing an enterprise iOS application that needs to perform specific tasks or network calls even when the app is in a killed state (i.e., when it is not actively running in the foreground or background). I understand that standard iOS restrictions prevent apps from executing code while in this state, but I am exploring potential solutions within the scope of enterprise apps and MDM (Mobile Device Management) capabilities.

How and when to renew expiring provisioning profile?
Hi everyone, I maintain an app that is developed and distributed with an Apple Developer Enterprise subscription and delivered via my institution’s private site, where users download the .ipa file after logging in. From what I see, we use automatic signing in Xcode where possible. On the 1st of January 2024, the provisioning profile expired, and the developer before me had to rush to renew it because the app stopped working. Now, I have some questions about how to prevent this from happening again: When should I renew the provisioning profile? Can I renew it before the expiration without blocking the current app version that users have already downloaded? How do I renew it? If I need to download a certificate, does it need to be converted into a different format? Do we need to build a new .ipa file that users will have to download before the expiration date? here a screenshot clearance and guide:

Remote control is possible even if "allowVideoConferencingRemoteControl" in the restriction setting is set to false
We have confirmed the operation using iOS18 beta devices regarding the item "allowVideoConferencingRemoteControl" which is implemented for iOS18 beta. Remote control can be requested even if “allowVideoConferencingRemoteControl" is set to "true" or "false". Please tell me the following. Is it an expected behavior that there is no control regarding remote control whether "allowVideoConferencingRemoteControl" is true or false? I have confirmed the operation by following the procedure below, but is the procedure to confirm the control of "allowVideoConferencingRemoteControl" correct? Steps taken Create a profile with "allowVideoConferencingRemoteControl" set to "false" in the restriction settings Distribute to the terminal Make a video call with facetime between iOS18 beta devices One device performs screen sharing of the device with Share Play, and the other device requests remote control. Even if "allowVideoconferencingRemoteControl" is set to "false" in the restriction settings, remote control requests are still made.

Is there any difference between starting the network filter by sending a configuration file from MDM and starting the network filter through sharedManager?
Hi, Team: Is there any difference in the underlying logic between starting the network filter by configuring the MDM description file through the first connection below and starting the network filter through the second connection in the code? First connection:https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/webcontentfilter?language=objc Second connection: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/nefiltermanager?language=objc

MDM activation of system extensions causes other apps to be killed
I sent the description file through MDM in advance and configured the system extension and web content filter. When my code uses activationRequestForExtension:queue: to activate the system extension, other security app processes will be killed. I received the following message. May I ask why this may be? 2024-09-02 11:42:19.737229 (gui/501/killed_bundleid [679]) : exited due to SIGPIPE | sent by killed_app[679], ran for 301372ms 2024-09-02 11:42:19.737239 (gui/501/killed_bundleid [679]) : service state: exited 2024-09-02 11:42:19.737245 (gui/501/killed_bundleid [679]) : internal event: EXITED, code = 0 2024-09-02 11:42:19.737247 (gui/501/killed_bundleid [679] ]) : job state = exited 2024-09-02 11:42:19.737274 (gui/501 [100003]) : service inactive: killed_bundleid 2024-09-02 11:42:19.737277 (gui/501/killed_bundleid [679]) : service state: not running 2024-09-02 11:42:19.737282 (pid/679 [killed_app]) : shutting down 2024-09-02 11:42:19.737310 (pid/679 [killed_app]) : cleaning up

How to uninstall system extensions
Hi,Team: I successfully installed the system extension through MDM and want to uninstall it through RemovableSystemExtensions, but this command does not support versions below macOS 12. Is there any other way to pause or uninstall the system extension? Can I delete the configuration file that allows system extensions through MDM? Or send and delete the configuration file of AllowedSystemExtensions?

When developing a network filter, MDM has configured AllowedSystemExtensions and succeeded, but a reminder still appears when savingToPreferencesWithCompletionHandler
Hi, Team: I developed a network filter and used MDM to issue a description file. By configuring AllowedSystemExtensions, I can avoid the reminder of loading system extensions during installation. However, when savingToPreferencesWithCompletionHandler, I will still be reminded that my network data is monitored. How can I configure MDM to avoid this reminder? And why can I still delete the filter from the network filter conditions even though I configured it in mobileconfig in the following way. NonRemovableFromUISystemExtensions com.mysystemextensionid

Main Camera Access on Vision OS
Hello, I have received Enterprise.license from Apple and I am trying to implement main Camera access for Vision Pro by following https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10139/. Here is my camera function. func takePicture() async { let formats = CameraVideoFormat.supportedVideoFormats(for: .main, cameraPositions:[.left]) let cameraFrameProvider = CameraFrameProvider() var arKitSession = ARKitSession() var pixelBuffer: CVPixelBuffer? await arKitSession.queryAuthorization(for: [.cameraAccess]) do { try await arKitSession.run([cameraFrameProvider]) } catch { return } guard let cameraFrameUpdates = cameraFrameProvider.cameraFrameUpdates(for: formats[0]) else { return } for await cameraFrame in cameraFrameUpdates { guard let mainCameraSample = cameraFrame.sample(for: .left) else { continue } pixelBuffer = mainCameraSample.pixelBuffer let image = UIImage(ciImage: CIImage(cvPixelBuffer: pixelBuffer!)) print(image) UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil) } } } My problem is debug stops at this line. guard let cameraFrameUpdates = cameraFrameProvider.cameraFrameUpdates(for: formats[0]) else { return } Why does it happen so and what else do I need to do?

ManagedAppDistribution problem with getting the apps
Hello, We are trying to use the Managed App Distribution framework with our mdm following the documentation here : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/managedappdistribution But on the first load we don't get anything, the app keep getting stuck inside the following code without sending an error or getting the managed apps for try await result in ManagedAppLibrary.currentDistributor.availableApps { content = try result.get().map(Content.managedApp) } If we update the list of available managed apps in our mdm, the function execute and so we have all the apps displayed as expected, but if we close and re-open the app it'll again not display anything until we update the managed apps list. How can we fetched our managed apps at anytime and not only when the list is updated ? Why this method seems to be waiting for an update instead of just fetching the available managed apps when we call it ?

Need clarity on "restrict-software-update-require-admin-to-install" setting
In MDM Software Update settings(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/softwareupdate), there is a key "restrict-software-update-require-admin-to-install" which apparently controls if the standard users are allowed to install apps and software updates. But so far, even if this is set to true, a standard user is able to download apps from Appstore. We noticed that when we publish a pkg to be installed via MDM, then that does not get installed if the above setting is set to true. Please provide clarity on what this setting controls.
