Declarative VPP app download in Company Portal
The iOS/iPadOS Company Portal will support Declarative Volume-Purchased Program (VPP) app downloads from the Apps tab.
What changed
Declarative VPP apps provide an improved end-user experience by reducing app installation latency, allowing for automatic overnight app updates, and providing the end user with a live status of an app installation. If you choose not to use Declarative VPP apps, there will be no changes to the admin and user experience.
Why it matters
Device-management changes can affect policy processing, reporting, app delivery or support workflows across managed endpoints.
Known limitations
- Availability, prerequisites and rollout scope remain authoritative in the linked Microsoft documentation.
Now check
- Confirm the Apple VPP token and declarative management prerequisites
