The session "What’s new in device management" at WWDC 2024 covers several updates related to certificates and profiles. Here are some key points:

  1. Device Management Renaming: The profile section has been renamed to device management and moved under general settings, aligning more closely with iPhone and iPad settings.

  2. Beta Program Management: Organizations can enforce and defer beta releases on supervised devices. A declarative status report provides visibility into beta program enrollments.

  3. Service Configuration Files: Support for installing service configuration files, including executable files, has been added. This allows IT admins to install management tools and scripts in a tamper-resistant location.

  4. Software Update Management: New features include managing notification behavior for software updates and beta updates, making it easier to manage beta program participation.

  5. Security and Enrollment: In iOS 18, enrolling an MDM on a newly set up device without familiar locations will not cause a security delay for the first 3 hours after stolen device protection is enabled.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session What’s new in device management (00:01:53) which covers these updates comprehensively.
