πŸš€ Major Update in Device Management

Karla avatar
Shared by Karla β€’ August 14, 2025

We’re excited to introduce one of the most significant updates to Applivery’s Device Management platform, bringing powerful new capabilities for advanced control, automation, and targeting.

πŸ”“ Interpolation β€” Now Generally Available

Easily reference and replace dynamic values (like device names, user details, or custom attributes) within your configurations and policies. This allows for more flexible, personalized, and automated deployments.

In addition, there are some awesome new features that are still in Private Access for selected customers on Enterprise plans only:

πŸ›  Policy Composition

Until now, Applivery only allowed one policy per device, which meant that all settings, apps, restrictions, and properties had to be centralized.
​
Policy Composition allows now to have multiple policies for a single device, each one containing multiple configuration profiles, apps, properties, or certificates, which will allow you to group and prioritize your device settings using weights from 1 to 1000. – for example, a given device can now have 3 policies:

  • Policy 1: General restrictions and configurations.
  • Policy 2: User-specific configurations.
  • Policy 3: Customized configurations based on user and device behaviour.

🎯 Device Audiences

Segment your devices into smart audiences based on device or user properties and metadata such as OS version, device model, enrollment type, or custom attributes. Perfect for targeted deployments and phased rollouts.

⚑ Automation Rules

The perfect companion for Device Audiences. Set up automatic actions triggered by specific events or conditions β€” for example, automatically applying a new policy when a device joins a certain Device Audience or updating a configuration when a certificate nears expiration.

πŸ“œ Advanced Certificate Management

Manage, deploy, and renew digital certificates directly from Applivery, ensuring devices maintain secure access to your corporate resources without manual intervention. This includes a new infrastructure component that will allow you to connect Applivery with your own Certificate provider for automated certificate issuing and renewal.

πŸ’‘ If you’re an Enterprise plan customer and want early access to these features, please contact your Customer Success Manager to request activation.

New feature

πŸ†• Disable Individual Builds from Distribution

Karla avatar
Shared by Karla β€’ July 31, 2025

You can now disable specific builds to prevent them from being accessible or downloaded, without removing them from the dashboard.

What does this mean?

Disabling a build ensures that:

βœ… It will remain listed in your Dashboard for internal reference.

🚫 It will not appear in the App Store or MDM, even if it’s assigned to a policy.

πŸ›‘οΈ It will be blocked from download, users won’t be able to access or install it, even if it’s assigned to a policy.

πŸ“‰ It will not be selectable as an available build in publications.

This is ideal for managing deprecated or outdated versions while maintaining visibility and traceability.

Shared by Karla β€’ June 24, 2025

We’ve added a new flag to enhance privacy controls when enrolling Apple devices. Whether you’re adding a device manually, enrolling it directly, or using Smart Enrollments, you can now enable the Skip personal information option to:

πŸ”’ Prevent the collection of location data from the device.

πŸ“΅ Skip retrieving information about unmanaged applications.

This update is especially useful for organizations that require stricter data privacy policies or need to limit visibility into personal data on BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) deployments.

You’ll find this setting available during device enrollment and configuration.
