  1. Support for Apple's MDM Beta Management - Enrolling devices into betas during ADE

    Apple introduced a new API endpoint in their MDM Beta Management feature update in April 2024; this allows organisations to auto enrol devices into beta programs as part of ADE deployments.

    It would be very useful if this feature could be added to SimpleMDM as it would allow organisations to specify a beta OS version that a device should have installed as the minimum version when proceeding through Setup Assistant, avoiding the need to manually sign into iCloud on a device in order to get beta seed options in the Software Update systems setting pane.

    The option to enroll and force a device to update to a beta OS version during ADE has been added under the Minimum OS Version Requirement section on the Automated Enrollment/DEP Settings page.

  2. Support account-driven user enrollment

    Initially announced at WWDC21 [1], macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices starting with iOS15 and macOS Monterey support a workflow called account-driven user enrollment [2]. This workflow differs from the existing user enrollment methodology in that it uses a slightly different protocol and requires the implementation of a session token on the MDM provider side.

    We are interested in the account-driven workflow because it removes the need to distribute enrollment profiles or have users visit an enrollment URL and download / install the profile. The improved UX, when combined with this year's promised release of federated authentication to more providers in…

  3. Extend the assignment group API to support the new profile assignment feature.

    The new ability to assign profiles via assignment groups (with varying priority levels) is huge, and is going to make a big difference in our environment...

    ...but, there's not currently scope to

    a) assign profiles to assignment groups via the API

    and

    b) you can't set (or update) the profile priority in an assignment group via the API

    Please can we have this added to the API too?

  11. Add device EID from DeviceInformationResponse.QueryResponses.ServiceSubscriptionProperty command

    Hello,

    as part of eSIM distribution it will be very nice to have EID of the devices accessible via API in device details (adding EID to portal will be also nice).

    Can you please add EID to each device from MDM command (this command is already in use by SimpleMDM for other data) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/deviceinformationresponse/queryresponses/servicesubscriptionproperty

    Thank you David.

  13. Support more API profile query strings

    To get information about a custom profile through the API the only option is to list them all and then filter out the required data.

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#custom-configuration-profiles

    On a SimpleMDM instance with 100+ profiles, requesting a single page of profiles takes a very long time.

    curl https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/custom_configuration_profiles?limit=100 \
  -u ${API_KEY}:

    Running the above command takes around 20-30 seconds. However, if there were URL parameters available to map to profile attributes - ID, name, identifier, etc. - the API could return only the one or subset of profiles requested, in turn improving performance. It shouldn't take 30 seconds to return data about…

  15. Report on Rapid Security Response versions

    Apple is adding a new update type to macOS called Rapid Security Responses. These updates change the build version, but not the OS version reported. Instead, the new ProductVersionExtra (sw_vers) and SupplementalOSVersionExtra (MDM query) keys are returned to denote a specific supplemental version only when a RSR is installed. If no RSR is installed the key is not present. Similarly, when using MDM query (simulated with /usr/libexec/mdmclient QueryDeviceInformation) BuildVersion is unchanged, but SupplementalBuildVersion has the correct RSR build.

    $ sw_vers
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 13.3
ProductVersionExtra: (a)
BuildVersion: 22E7752300f

    $ /usr/libexec/mdmclient QueryDeviceInformation
{
  BuildVersion = 22E5230e;
  OSVersion = "13.3";

  17. Support for Munki installer_type "nopkg"

    Munki has a pkginfo key for the installer type "nopkg". In a self-hosted Munki environment, this allows pkginfo files to be added to a repository that do not have an associated .pkg or .dmg file. You can read the Munki Project docs on the feature here: https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/nopkgs

    This has a variety of uses, because it allows Munki to be used as a general script execution tool. An admin can use any of Munki's installation conditions (package receipt, installs array, installcheck_script, or OnDemand) to then run a pre or postinstall script embedded in the pkginfo.

    One example of how this is…

  20. Respect local time zone of iOS devices when applying a software update window

    Currently, the software update window is a singular entity, which means some units in Europe would be updating in the middle of the day for units in the USA. Implementing a method to either auto-detect local time of the units or specify a time zone in the profile would help solve this.
