  1. Bypass certificate expiry on Enterprise ios App

    Before using simple MDM we use to install and update manually an Enterprise iOS App on some iPads and we no longer matter about the Enterprise Certificate signing expiry.

    Since we use SimpleMDM, we push over the air the app to these iPads. We download the app file .ipa on a computer and add it on the portal.

    We have a concern when the enterprise certificate expiry is reached because we have to upload a new version and we can not by pass the expiry. It would be nice to have a feature to bypass this limit and keep the…

    SimpleMDM is not able to circumvent the iOS app licensing policies created by Apple. It is best to keep an active Enterprise Developer account with Apple and resign enterprise apps every three years, using SimpleMDM to distribute the updates.

  2. Add custom UID option to macOS account creation on enrollment

    The option to skip Setup Assistant's prompt to create a user and create an admin provided account on enrollment is useful.

    I'd like to see, if possible, the option to specify the UID of the account that gets created. We have environment specific needs for a specific UID for the account that isn't 501.

    Unfortunately Apple's MDM spec does not currently provide us the ability to specify the UID of the account that gets created during Automated Enrollment (DEP) / Setup Assistant.


    I will close this request for now, but we will continue to monitor Apple updates in case this option is added to the MDM spec at some point.

    SimpleMDM currently supports a few different options between iOS (ex. Lost Mode) and macOS (ex. Lock command). I am closing this request since these options already exist, but if there are additional features you would like to see added, please submit a new suggestion with a detailed description of what you are looking for.

    This is not something Apple currently makes available via MDM.

  7. Force install app update

    Sometimes the device will popup a confirmation before installing an app. Maybe it should be better to install without a confirmation.

    Hi Rick- This is behavior determined by iOS, not SimpleMDM. To force a “silent” app install without prompting the user, make sure that you have VPP licenses available (if an App Store App), the device is Supervised, and the app is not currently open by the user.

  8. Put the main device screen back to how it was.

    They were grouped so nicely. I could see all my devices on one page, neatly organized by expandable groups. Why default to 20 devices? Why take away the expandable groupings?

    Apple's MDM protocol does not currently provide a profile to configure/enforce portrait or landscape mode. The only close exception is when using the Single App Lock profile, there is a "Disable device rotation" option.

    This is available already using the Web Clip profile. Per Apple's design, bookmarks can be added only to Safari via MDM when using a Web Content Filter profile.

  14. Completely lock the device

    I'd like the ability to prevent someone using a device for a period. This could be combination of a device lock, along with a passcode change, or some "auto" way to push a device into single app mode with the SimpleMDM app as the only one, with a basic "device is locked until xx" message.

    This is just a situation where you want to prevent device use until you re-allow it or a way to stop the device being used for anything until a certain time.

    If you could do this as a feature, this would be huge with the…

  15. Cloud Sandbox for iOS Apps

    Online sandbox for iOS apps. I want a portal where I can log in and see all app interactions on a designated Apple device. Did someone send my son a friend request via Facebook? Or send him a SMS? Or what sites did he visit? I want to monitor everything about that device. I want alerts for certain pre-defined actions on his part.

    This is not a functionality that Apple currently provides via MDM.

  16. Possible to control supervised device brightness settings via SimpleMDM?

    Hey there,

    If possible, I would love to be able to remotely configure/control a supervised iOS device's brightness settings via SimpleMDM.

    I am already aware of the setting to disable auto-lock for supervised devices, but right now the screen is still dimming.

    Is it possible to control the device's brightness slide remotely?

    Our use case is a deployment of kiosk-mode devices that are locked down to using the Safari app to display content.

    We have received complaints that the device screens are too dim.

    Would prefer not to have to manually adjust the settings on each in-person.

    Thanks!

    Apple does not currently support this. Some kiosk software does, however, so we suggest checking with your kiosk software manufacturer.

    Declining because the Quarantine feature has been deprecated and removed. However, if a feature that allows automatically locking devices based on some criteria is still of interest, please feel free to open a new suggestion.

  18. Disable Location History Per Device

    I would like to have the Simply MDM on all my company's devices. However, I don't want to know where the owner of the company has been over the last 24 hours. I would like to be able to turn off the owner location history but leave on the current location. The purpose of leaving on the current location is so we can locate the device is it is lost or stolen. I would like to do this for each device.

    MDM Lost Mode would be the best way to achieve this. It is intended exactly for the purpose described and does not require the use of the general location tracking feature that retains location history.

  19. Limit or remove access to Airplane mode

    Tracking can be removed if the device is allowed to go into Airplane mode. For users that will never use the device on the airplane or travel there should be a way to limit the Airplane mode capability. This would be nice so that the device can be tracked all of the time.

    Apple does not currently make it possible to configure or restrict the Airplane Mode setting on devices via MDM. Sorry.

  20. receive alert when user has possibly locked themselves out as they've tried to unlock several times unsuccessfully.
