The "Get to know the ManagedApp Framework" session at WWDC 2025 introduces a new framework designed to make apps in managed deployments easier to use and more secure. The ManagedApp Framework is available in iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and Vision OS 2.4, and it requires the MDM server to manage the app using declarative device management. It supports most app extension types, though it doesn't work with extensions that run in very restricted environments.
The framework allows administrators to provide custom app configurations and provision passwords, certificates, and identities. It supports four types of data: app-specific configuration, secrets, passwords, certificates, and identities. The framework is designed to securely deliver these configurations and secrets to the app, which can then apply them immediately.
The session covers the development and deployment workflow, explores scenarios where the framework is useful, dives into some code, and offers best practices. For example, the framework can be used to securely provide credentials to a third-party browser, customize an in-house app for a person's role, or configure a Safari extension.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session chapters:
