AppConfig is available for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS devices

​
What is AppConfig?

AppConfig, developed by a dedicated community, provides tools and best practices that use native capabilities in mobile operating systems. You can pre-configure App Store Apps (Apps and Books from Apple Business Manager) deployed via Iru Endpoint on iOS, iPadOS, tvOS or visionOS.

​
How does AppConfig Work?

AppConfig uses XML dictionaries to automate the configuration of essential app settings such as URL/port settings, group codes, email addresses, and license keys. This eliminates the need for end-user intervention during the initial setup, simplifying the deployment process. By centralizing configuration management, AppConfig lets you consistently apply settings across multiple environments and devices without requiring an additional Library Item.
