Pushing app-specific configurations (Plist) by apple configurator 2?

1.4k views Asked by At

Is it possible to push managed app configuration (I mean sending to an app a plist) by apple configurator 2 ? Maybe by using Configuration Profile Key? As far as I know this is possible by using MDM servers. Here are some examples of those http://simplemdm.com/2016/03/14/how-to-enroll-in-mdm-with-apple-configurator-2/ https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/sc2279/Introduction/Intro.html

No, it isn't possible to push Managed App Config via Apple Configurator 2 (AC2) as of version 2.7. AC2 isn't an MDM, and there are no options in AC2 to do this.

Your link Managed App Configuration indicates this when it says the following:

This functionality allows a Mobile Device Management (MDM) server to push down a dictionary into the managed app's NSUserDefaults for the purposes of remotely configuring settings.

The Mobile Device Management Protocol Reference also mentions the following regarding Managed App Config:

In iOS 7 and later, an MDM server can use configuration and feedback dictionaries to communicate with and configure third-party managed apps.

Neither of these references explicitly mention that AC2 cannot push Managed App Config, but the Apple Configuration Profile Reference, which defines the profile configurations pushable by AC2, has no mention of Managed App Config.
