To configure your business apps, you can leverage the tools and features discussed in the "What’s new in device management" session at WWDC 2024. Here are some key points:

  1. Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager: These are central tools for managing organization-owned devices. They allow IT teams to deploy devices, view inventory, purchase apps in volume, and manage user accounts. Automated device enrollment is available for various Apple devices, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and the new Apple Vision Pro. This feature enables IT teams to ship devices directly to users, enroll them into MDM, and customize the setup experience without physically handling the devices.

  2. MDM Capabilities: After enrolling devices into MDM, IT teams can configure settings and deploy apps. The process is consistent across iPhone, iPad, and other devices, ensuring they are managed effectively. New configurations and payloads have been introduced for Vision Pro, expanding management capabilities.

  3. Safari Extensions Management: Safari extensions can now be managed on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. You can define which extensions are allowed and control their activation status, providing flexibility in managing your fleet's browsing capabilities.

  4. Software Update Management: A new software update settings configuration has been introduced, replacing legacy MDM software update management commands. This allows for comprehensive management of software updates on supervised devices with iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the What’s new in device management session, particularly the sections on Apple Services and Platform updates.
