App-Configuration via JAMF MDM #4025

Open Alternativend opened 3 years ago

Alternativend commented 3 years ago

Hello Community, is it possible to pre configure the iOS app via JAMF MDM?

There is this config generator which they are providing and i would love to pre configure the homeserver URL with it.

Greetings!

+1 for managed app config!

In addition, username and password might be interesting as well for use with MDMs like MobileIron, Intune, ...

+1 from here too A managed app config would also be very important and helpful for us! It's a lot of work to brand the app and then put it in the app store ourselves. If you want to establish Matrix in companies, schools and universities as well, this would be a very important step!!

Essential for administrators.

There is also a similar issue open, but only to set the home server. https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/2873

Apparently they added AppConfig since 1.11.2. We are currently trying to configure it with Ivanti Mobile Iron Core but we didn't had any success yet. Current options are:

im.vector.app.serverConfigDefaultHomeserverUrlString
im.vector.app.clientPermalinkBaseUrl
im.vector.app.serverConfigSygnalAPIUrlString

Implemented as MDMSettings here: https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/blob/e7a93de14dd6b9038907780be69927192187a028/Config/MDMSettings.swift
