Learning Management System (LMS) Framework for Swift App
Is there any good framework that can be used in educational app as Learning Management System (LMS). Should be full fledge for creating courseware for E Learning App. Should be compatible with all Apple Platforms. Any help or link will be greatly appreciated. As I didn't found anything that mentions designed for Xcode. All LMS belong to Web based apps.

Using Testflight with a managed Apple ID
Hi all, We've been given the opportunity to beta test an app at my school and we have been asked to download the Test Flight app to enable it to run. Unfortunately it's not possible to use Test Flight with a managed Apple ID. All our staff and pupils' iPads are signed in with a managed Apple ID. It's a shame to pass up this opportunity, but I can't see any way around it... does anyone have any alternatives (apart from creating and using a non-managed Apple ID, which isn't feasible). Thanks in advance, Jacob

Wallpaper fails to be set on an iPhone via the cfgutil command
Hi. I'm trying to use the following command to set a wallpaper on an iPhone : /usr/local/bin/cfgutil -K "/Users/ladmin/Downloads/privateKey.der" -C "/Users/ladmin/Downloads/publicCert.der" --ecid 0xE64120151001E set-wallpaper -s home "/Users/ladmin/Downloads/mickey-iPhone-12-Pro-12-wallpaper.png" The answer is always : --- Summary --- Operation "set-wallpaper" failed on 1 devices. cfgutil: error: An internal error occurred. Unknown service request error. (Domain: ConfigurationUtilityKit.error Code: 100) The same type of command works with an iPad. Apple Configurator 2 can set the wallpaper on the iPhone. Is there something different to do with cfgutil when setting a wallpaper on an iPhone ? Thanks for your insights ! Franck

Is it possible to configure different Check-in API endpoint for MDM and DDM?
The Check-in API is now used for declarative device management in addition to MDM authentication and token updates. We would like to set a different endpoint for DDM requests only than for MDM authentication So is it possible to configure different Check-in API endpoint for MDM and DDM? For example, we would like to split the endpoints as follows Endpoints for MDM authentication and token update yourmdmhost.example.com/checkin Endpoint for DDM yourmdmhost.example.com/ddm-chcekin Check-in API Documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/check-in

Can I use maps screenshots with clickable markers in my app?
I would like to inquire if I can use screenshots from maps for specific areas in my application. I plan to add various markers to the screenshots, which can be clicked to identify different types of areas, such as restaurants and bars. Do I need a separate permission for this, and if so, where can I obtain it? Is it possible to implement this, and what copyright considerations do I need to take into account for my business idea?

Duplicate softwareupdate.enforcement.specific not allowed?
I am attempting to apply the softwareupdate.enforcement.specific declaration on a device. The first time it is processed it is applied successfully. I then generate a new set of declarations for the device and send a sync command to the device with the new server token. The management.status-subscriptions declaration and the activation.simple declaration are both applied successfully, even though the contain the same content and server token, but a different identifier than the original declarations. For some reason, the softwareupdate.enforcement.specific declaration fails to be applied and the reason is reported as [kSUCoreErrorDDMInvalidDeclarationFailure] New declaration is a duplicate The original softwareupdate.enforcement.specific identifier is not included in the new declaration-items response, only the new identifier. I would expect the device to remove the existing declaration and apply the new one, even if it is a duplicate of a declaration no longer specified for the device. Has anyone else run across this issue?

Problems when Preparing Apple TV via Apple Configurator 2
Model: Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) Wi-Fi & Ethernet 128GB I am an Apple Systems Admin for a school district. A contractor working on new buildings/upgrades for us purchased Apple TVs outside of our Apple account. When attempting to add these Apple TVs to Apple School Manager and enroll them into our MDM (via Apple Configurator 2 version 2.17), i'm running into a few problems. When inputting the Pair Code: -Says “Pairing Failed (-402653161)”--this error code only takes me to Apple Forums that end up answerless -But device still shows up under Paired Devices and in Configurator On Step 3 of 4 when “Preparing Apple TV—Activating TVOS” -An unexpected error has occurred with “Apple TV”. The device is not connected. [ConfigurationUtilityKit.error – 0x25B (603)]--this error code also only points me to Apple Forums for Configurator problems regarding iPads -only option is “Stop” -Appears that Configurator is still working in the background Click Stop (as it is my only option), then Apple TV then disappears from Configurator. Devices appear to be wiping OS/reinstalling OS and then going back to factory default settings. They are not being added to our ASM account. Any ideas?

Your payments from Apple are on hold - 2024
I received an email today stating that my payment is on hold due to irregular activity. I haven't violated any rules, and I've noticed others have received similar messages. I immediately contacted support by phone, and the representative confirmed my account is in good standing. She asked me to forward the email for further investigation. Email received: "We noticed some irregular activity associated with your vendor number XXXXXXXX and have paused your earnings payments while we investigate. Once our review is complete, we'll determine if we can resume your payments." Questions: Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, what steps did you take to resolve it, and how long did it take for payments to resume? Wishing everyone a great day, and thanks in advance!

TCC profile change for Local Network Access
Hello, is there any plan to add a new service type for Privacy Preferences Policy Control profile to allow apps deployed via MDM on Organization owned devices to access local network without prompting end user on Sequoia ? This would be very welcome, especially in education world where students are good at finding on how to block the tools they are supposed to use. I created FB14540495 for reference. Thanks !

Intune managed devices repeatedly ask for PIN change
We have currently a problem with devices managed by Intune repeatedly asking for a new lock code. The problem seems to be a bug in iOS with the interaction of Intune. We have selected "Max PIN Age In Days: 0" for the setting. This has always worked so far. The PIN did not have to be changed as described in the documentation. From yesterday, however, every user was asked to change the PIN. This sometimes happened every minute. The problem has affected 500 devices. Is this a known bug?

Hello, I am testing Configuration Profiles' Passcode policy in an MDM environment. After setting the 'maxFailedAttempts' property to 5 and deploying the Passcode payload via MDM to iPhones, some iPhones are not wiped after exceeding 5 failed passcode attempts. Could you please advise on the possible reasons for this issue? Devices affected: iPhone 11 (iOS 16.4.1), iPhone 12 mini (iOS 16.5).

Device Management Question
In MDM device management, I called the device synchronization interface (Sync the List of Devices: https://mdmenrollment.apple.com/devices/sync), and the returned data device_assigned_by did not return an email address as described in the documentation, but returned a string of numbers. What's the situation? This situation only occurs on some devices, and other devices return email addresses normally. Is there any solution for this?
