Enterprise App Update?

I have been playing with the Enterprise App deployment and have noticed that iOS devices treat the app as a seperate app deployment over the app store app. I haven't been able to figure out how to deploy the Enterprise app to already deployed devices so have requested my end users do so with a step by step guide. This is problematic since I have a hard time with the users following the directions I provide.
On that note I have a concern going forward with the Enterprise app. How do I keep that kind of app updated? If the App is moved up in version how does it indicate an update to the end device since that app is not part of the AppStore push. Is this something that can be pushed out using the ZMM app function?
If there is more documentation on this I would love to see it. The material I have found so far is lacking at best.
Thanks
Richard

Ipad enterprise apps update through Profile Manager

Hello,
we are using OS X Server Profile Manager to push enterprise Apps to an iPad fleet. It is working quite fine for the "initial" download : when a new app is made available to the iPads, it is downloaded without any problem.
The problem arise with "new release" of an existing app. For example, the developper (a web agency) release the 1.1 version of an existing app (in version 1.0).
I upload this new version in the profile manager app library. As it is the same app, it appaers under the same name. As we can't have any details on the enterprise Apps in the Profile Manager app library, I can not be sure that the newly uploaded app has properly replaced the old version. And on the iPads, nothing happens, they do not download the new version.
What am I doing wrong ? Is the Profile Manager supposed to be working to "push" new releases of enterprise app ?
Thank you.

How to Update Android Enterprise APP without any prompt or click?

Hi,
I have an app running on Samsung Android Devices
I have two version 103 and 110
I can deploy and install without any prompt or click version 103 by using Application policy. I just Selecten "required"
Then I have to updta this app from 103 to 110.
In able to do this, I change apk file in application policy.
But, In afaria client, I see that version 110 is shown in update tab. And waiting for tap to update.
I want to update automatically update 103 to 110.
How?
Maybe first of all I have to run Samsung configuration policy to uninstall 103 and then run application policy to install 110.
But this is complicated.
What I've done?
I run Application policy to install 103.
Then I change apk file 103 to 110 in application policy.
Then create a session to send 110.apk file to device.
Then run configuration polict to update from 103 to 110 from defined file location on devices. (storage/sdcard0/110.apk)
I know it is more complicated.
Is there any simple method?

Hi Tevfik,
Even i have the same problem and don't want to follow this complicated process.
Did you latter find any easy way out, to update the enterprise app in the Samsung device without user intervention?
Thank you

[Enterprise App] - How to push app out if user cancels update

I am using Mac OS X Lion Server's Profile Manager to push updates out to my iPad app users.
When the user is prompted, "The server is about to update the app blahblahblah" he or she is given the choice to Update or Cancel.
If the user presses "Cancel" there doesn't appear to be a way to push the app back out, even using Lion Server's "Update" function for the device.
How do I do this?
Thanks!
D

Update:
I should have clarified that the App (as well as said theoretical device) is associated with a Device Group profile.
It does seem as if this might be a bug in Profile Manager. Profile Manager is aware that the device refused the app update, but using the Update function on the device doesn't properly sync the app back to the device.
Looks like the best way to handle this is to add the app to the profile for the device itself (which I don't otherwise use); have the user accept the app; then it's safe to remove it from the Device Profile so long as the device and app remain associated with the Device Group profile.

Pushing Enterprise App to different user or goup

We have setup Mac OS X Server as part of our iPAD deployment through profile manager.
We are trying to push our enterprise app to different user through profile manager,which has different version.
Like Version 1.1 to one user or group and 1.2 to another user or 1.3 to our testing ipad.
For some reason MDM only sees all version as one application and start updating all ipads as soon as we upload the .ipa file.
It erase the old version and keep the new one.AS we want to keep both.
App has same bundle id from our developer team.
Please help is there any work around to overcome this situation?
Thanks

PM only keeps one version of the app
Once you update, all users groups etc get whatever version you've updated to
You might need to create a second app with a different name etc for testing

Enterprise App won't sync

Hi,
We've been producing Enterprise Apps for a while now. Suddenly however, the viewer apps generated from DPS App Builder won't sideload onto iPads.
We see them in iTunes, and set them to install, but when they sync nothing happens.
We are using a new machine to download the apps, which appear to be signed all OK, and are now a bit mystified on why they refuse to Sync.
Can you help, or offer any tips on what to check?
Best,
Paul

Fixed with an update.

Enterprise app version problem

I setup a osx server 3.0 and want to deploy enterprise app using profile manager.
I added a app called "abc 1.1" in Profile manager - Apps library and I can deploy this app to user with no problem.
But When I update abc 1.1 to 1.2, I cannot keep both version in app library.
In app Library , it only shows the app "abc" with no version displayed, so I cannot deploy both versions to users.
How can I seperate the version in app library instead of over-write my old version when I add the new version to the app library?
Thanks!

Hi, Tushar,
There are different possible ways to do this. You can do this with .NET (FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo), or with WinAPI (GetFileVersionInfo()).
In attachment you can found the example, which returned proper version of the application.
Best regards,
Andrey.

Enterprise App on Multiple Devices

Hi,
I'm making my first enterprise app intended for both iPad and iPhone. In terms of distribution is it possible to download on just one device and have it sync to the other on the same Apple ID or is this only for apps distributed through the App Store? I know the user can turn off this setting on their device but i've tested it on mine with this feature enabled and it does not seem to sync.
The app works fine on both devices but i'm just trying to figure out the best means of distribution.
It's currently deployed through a plist file. Is there something that needs to be added there?

Not aware of other distribution method other than hosting/deployment through your own server/up in the cloud(dropbox). There's no notion of the Apple ID thing since its a private app

Apple Enterprise App Store & DPS

We are a fairly small ad agency with a large corporate client that has an Apple Enterprise App Store they use to distribute iPad apps to their employees. The marketing rep we work with has asked us to create a brochure along with an iPad app using the same content as the brochure. Our first thought was that this would be a great way for us to dive in and learn the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite and use the Single Edition version for our client app. But, despite our best efforts, we haven't been able to get a definitive answer as to whether or not the DPS Single Edition product can create an app that can be distributed with an Apple Enterprise App Store. An IT guy from our client said they need an .ipa file along with a plist file and the app has to be signed with a certificate that allows distribution of apps without the App Store. No idea what all that means but I need to find out if we can do all of that with DPS Single Edition. Thoughts anyone?

Look, I'm not trying to get frustrated, but no matter how you ask the question, the answer is the same. There is no such thing as an enterprise "store." What there is, is the enterprise developer's program, which allows you create an distribution .ipa file, that you can host somewhere (behnind a username and password security portal) for users to download outside of the store.
Here is the Adobe help article explaining how it's done, but again, it can't be done with Single Edition. The license doesn't allow for it. The best you can do with Single Edition is distribute it to 100 iPads by side loading it after provisioning the iPads via the Apple Developer portal. http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/creating-enterprise-signed-viewer-app .html
And sorry for getting frustrated, but I answered your question twice and I really do this every day as part of my career. Your question is one that comes up a lot as it would seem like private distribution would be simple, but because of the licensing restrictions, the enterprise license is the only license that will allow the creatation of an enterprise iOS developer signed application.

Apps updates/downloads saved in wrong folder

Hi,
I have just transferred my iTunes library to my new NAS (WD MyCloud). I simply copied over my entire iTunes folder from the iMac internal hard drive to the NAS, deleted all the content from iTunes and added everything back from the new location/folder. I also changed the iTunes Medial folder location in the Advanced Preference settings.
Everything seems to work fine with the exception of the App updates/downloads. Whenever I update an existing App or download a newone it will be saved in the old folder on the internal hard drive of my iMac.
This drives me crazy...please help!
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien.

I think you mean +command shift s+ (Save As…).
When you *Save As…* you need to choose where to save your initial document, after that just saving will save it in the right spot.
Inside the *Save As…* dialog box you are free to navigate to other locations either within the column view or by clicking on the folder name at the top of the window, which will reveal the sets of folders enclosing the one you are in ie higher up the hierarchy. To go up the list, just scroll down the menu and let go at the folder you want to move to.
Also on the left of the *Save As…* dialogue box is your sidebar of frequent locations, you can click on those. To add your own folders to your Sidebar drag in their icon in Finder.
Also there is a *Search field* to the right of the folder name in the *Save As…* dialogue box, where you can look for folders or files to move to.
To help you move around more and have more choices at your finger tips, try:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7214/default-folder-x
*Default Folder X* is an enormous assist if you don't quite get the computer file system. It lets you click outside the Save dialogue on the folder you want to save to and it jumps there.

Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

HP ePrint iOS app no longer finds Photosmart C4780 after app update

I have an HP Photosmart C4780 connected through WiFi to my network but sadly it's not supported by AirPrint on iDevices.
So, I was using HP ePrint Home & Biz iOS app (version 4.1) which was very useful for me as it found the printer and allowed me to print from my iPad/iPhone.
Today I updated the app on my iPhone to version 5 (now simply named "HP ePrint" on the App Store) and after the update, the new version doesn't find my Photosmart C4780 anymore. I did the Activation thing on the iPhone, as it was requested to refresh the list of printer on my network in the All tab, but after Refresh no printer is found.
Still I have the old 4.1 on my iPad (and hopefully in my iTunes library) and the printer is located, I assume, through mDSN as it shows the name specified for this setting.
So, question is: Did you dropped support for Photosmart C4780 on 5.0 release of HP ePrint iOS app? If so, why did't you informed this appropriately on the app update text description in the App Store? A message like "some printers may not be supported anymore" would have been helpul.
If HP ePrint should find Photosmart C4700 series printers and this is an issue, how should we proceed from here?
Thanks.

WilliamBPS,
I was not informed that support was removed from the app for certain printers. It may have been lost in the transition to the new updated app. I will deffinitly pass this information along as it is very important that the app supports as many printers as it can. I'll go ahead and take note of your printer model. If I find anything out about this, I'll try to give you an update in this thread.

If you want to use your current ID you will either have to provide a credit card or redeem an iTunes gift card. Otherwise you can create a new ID without a credit card to purchase free apps by following this exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

App update available from iTunes, but not from iOS ?

Found earlier today that one app had an update available on iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) ... while it wasn't available from the app store on my iPhone. The iOS app Store kept showing the old version of that app as the latest. Had to sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer the update. How can that happen? ... and no my App Store app on iOS is not completely broken, as it keeps giving me updates for all other apps ... so far. Meaning that my Apple ID isn't a problem either.

On the iPod open the App Store app > Updates > Purchased then redownload. If nothoing shows make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID that the purchase was made with:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID
