The devices to which you distribute the app<br />

Managing an app requires a mobile device with iOS 5 or later and an MDM profile that supports<br />

managed apps. Devices that have iOS 5 or later at the time they are enrolled with the <strong>Casper</strong> <strong>Suite</strong> v8.3<br />

or later automatically receive an MDM profile that supports managed apps.<br />

For information on distributing an updated MDM profile that supports managed apps, see the “Self<br />

Service Web Clip” section in “Configuring the Mobile Device Management Framework”.<br />

The method you use to distribute the app<br />

When configuring the app for distribution in the <strong>JAMF</strong> <strong>Software</strong> Server (JSS), you must choose one of<br />

the following distribution methods:<br />

• Prompt user to install<br />

• Make available in the Self Service web clip and manage when possible<br />

See the "Understanding App Distribution Methods" section for more information.<br />

Understanding App Distribution Methods<br />

The <strong>Casper</strong> <strong>Suite</strong> allows you to distribute apps to devices in three ways:<br />

Prompt users to install the app.<br />

• Make the app available in the Self Service web clip and manage it when possible.<br />

Make the app available in the Self Service web clip and do not manage it.<br />

• <br />

You choose how you want to distribute an app when configuring it for distribution in the JSS. For detailed<br />

instructions on distributing an app, see the “Distributing In-House Apps” or “Distributing App Store Apps”<br />

section.<br />

The distribution method that you choose affects:<br />

Management status of the app<br />

Installation of the app<br />

• Installation of updates to the app<br />

Removal of the app<br />

• <br />

Prompt Users to Install<br />

This distribution method has a different effect on devices that support managed apps and devices that do<br />

not.<br />

On devices that support managed apps, the app is managed. Users are prompted to install the app and<br />

any future updates to the app. Removing the app removes it from the devices.<br />

On devices that do not support managed apps, the app is unmanaged. The app and any future updates to<br />

the app are displayed in the Self Service web clip. Removing the app removes it from the Self Service web<br />

clip only.<br />
