Adding and distributing Apple VPP apps
Distribute Apple VPP apps to users or devices after you add the apps to the MaaS360® App Catalog.
Procedure
- Click Add in the iTunes App Store App.
-
Search for the app and click Submit.
Note: Do not distribute the app from this screen if you want to choose between the Device (default method) or the User license types.
- After the app is added to the MaaS360 App Catalog, click Distribute below the app name.
-
Specify the target for the app distribution and select either User or
Device license type.
Note:
- The User license type is automatically applied to user-enrolled devices.
- Apple Shared devices support the Device license type only.
- You can only reclaim device-based licenses after a wipe of the device and after MDM control is removed from the device. You cannot reclaim user-based licenses after a device wipe and MDM control removal. The other ways to reclaim licenses for user-based licenses is through app view and user view and device view for device-based licenses.
- If the app is deployed to multiple distribution targets, the following license types apply:
- If you select the User license type for all distribution targets, the app is pushed to all targets with a user-based license.
- If you select the Device license type for at least one distribution target, the app is pushed to that target with a device-based license.
