Using B2B VPP apps with Symantec Mobility: Suite

Symantec Mobility: Suite supports using iOS B2B Apple Volume Purchase Program - Managed Distribution (VPP) apps either as Symantec Sealed apps or B2B store pointer apps.

Mobility Suite doesn't support having the same B2B app as both a store pointer app and a Sealed app. However, you can replace a B2B store pointer with a Sealed B2B app, provided they have the same Apple AdamID and are the same version.

Important: To use B2B VPP with Sealed apps, the app vendor should follow Apple's process to publish their app in a B2B store. If that app is a Sealed app, when that app is published, it's updated on authorized enterprise tenants based on the Apple ID that is enrolled on that tenant and the allowed by the app vendor. See the "Symantec Sealed Program Developer's Guide".

Configure B2B VPP apps

  1. Configure VPP in Mobility Suite including adding your B2B credentials.

    Important: You must add your B2B Apple ID for Sealed B2B app to appear in Mobility Suite.

    See Configuring VPP settings in Symantec Mobility: Suite.

  2. Optionally, to sync Mobility Suite with your Apple VPP account, on the Settings > App License Management page, click Sync Now.

    Mobility Suite syncs on a regular schedule, or you can sync now to force an immediate sync.

  3. Do either of the following:

    Add a B2B Sealed app

    If your WorkSpace is configured to automatically add Sealed apps when they're available in the app stores, you don't need to add the app to Mobility Suite. If not, you must add the Sealed app to Mobility Suite.

    See Adding a Symantec Sealed app to Symantec Mobility: Suite.

    Add a B2B store pointer by URL app

    Mobility Suite only supports iOS B2B apps.

    See Adding a store pointer app to Symantec Mobility: Suite.
