Bypass MDM and using location? #10

Open robertjulis opened 2 months ago

Hello,

I coped with the task quite well, everything was simple and I thank the author for creating this instruction. However, I have a question that I can't find the answer to on the web. Is it safe to use the location on the MacBook after using the bypass?

Hey

No issues enabling location services. Since MDM isn't configured, the company would not have access to that information.

Apple wouldn't bother getting it even if your company asked for it, theoretically they could, but Apple will simply brick it.

anyways, no worries enabling location services.

hi @assafdori thanks for this great work. Question, when you say Apple would brick it, does that mean the computer wouldn't be able to start / be used ?

It's not really an issue unless the company who bought it has registered it with the inventory system of Apple, which I'm not really sure how it's called, but unless the company really puts effort with Apple to brick the device, you should be good. For example, a stolen company laptop. But it takes effort, time and resources to get Apple to brick it, so I wouldn't worry.

Sorry another question. Will Apple OS updates overwrite your code's changes?

No, you should not be prompted to configure the MDM again, unless you factory reset.

Can I update the operating system if there is a new one ? Or will it lock for me again ?

You can update freely without issues.
