What’s New
Two new features (introduced in iOS 9) enable more efficient ways to deploy apps across your organisation.
Device-based app distribution
Businesses can use VPP and MDM to distribute and assign apps directly to a device—no Apple ID is required.
This capability saves several steps in the initial rollout, making your deployment significantly easier and faster
while giving you full control over managed devices and content. And iOS makes it easy for you to seamlessly
migrate from user-based to device-based app assignment for existing deployments.
Note, in order for apps to support device-based app distribution, developers must opt-in using iTunes
Connect. Apps that support device-based app distribution are marked accordingly in the VPP Store.
Multinational support
VPP apps can be assigned to devices or users in any country where the app is available, enabling multi-!
national distribution for enterprises. Developers can make their apps available in multiple countries through !
the standard App Store publishing process in iTunes Connect. Purchases still need to be made in a country
where the VPP store is available.
How to Purchase, Distribute, and Manage Content
Enrol
Enrolment in VPP is simple and takes only a few minutes, so you can start making your content purchases
quickly. Any business is eligible to participate, subject to the VPP terms and conditions. VPP is part of the
Apple Deployment Programs; to get started, complete the online enrolment process and create an Apple
Deployment Programs account. You’ll also need to verify that you have signing authority and can act as an
agent for the program on behalf of your company before completing the enrolment process. Program agents
are responsible for agreeing to the terms and conditions for each program they enrol in. They’re also
responsible for setting up additional administrators, as needed, to make purchases on behalf of your
company. Apple reserves the right to determine eligibility.
To enrol, go to deploy.apple.com. You’ll need to provide the following:
•
Business phone number and email address. The email address you provide should be a work email
address that’s associated with your company. Consumer email addresses are not accepted (such as !
Gmail or Yahoo! Mail). This email address will be used to create your Apple Deployment Programs !
Apple ID for signing in to the program.
•
Dun & Bradstreet (D-U-N-S) number for your company. D-U-N-S numbers are assigned to each !
business by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) and are maintained in its database. Apple will cross-check program
enrolees with the D&B database. To look up an existing D-U-N-S number or obtain a new one, visit !
developer.apple.com/ios/enroll/dunsLookupForm.action.
•
Valid business address. The work address you provide must match an address on file in the D&B !
database for your company.
