Editing iOS and macOS apps and app settings in the App Catalog
You can edit iOS app settings as follows:
Changing iOS and macOS app information
You cannot edit the iTunes ID of an app. If you entered the wrong ID when you added this app to the App Catalog, then you need to delete the app entry and create a new one.
When the app data is in View or Edit mode, Ivanti EPMM loads the latest managed app schema from the AppConfig repository and displays the latest fields (including any new fields) in the “Managed App Configurations” section in the UI. Ivanti recommends that before saving the changes, you first carefully inspect the updated managed app configuration. Once you select Proceed and click Confirm, the updated managed app configuration settings are saved and the changes are pushed out to all associated devices.
Prevent deleted default field values from repopulating by entering the substitution variable $NULL$ when editing app configurations. See Substitution variables for configuring iOS apps.
Procedure
- In the Ivanti EPMM Admin Portal, go to Apps > App Catalog.
- Select iOS or macOS from the Platform list.
- Click the name of the app.
