App Configuration for MDM deployment

Astropad Studio AppConfig and MDM Deployment

Starting with version 5.3.2, Astropad Studio includes support for AppConfig, making it easy to deploy the app across multiple devices using a mobile device management (MDM) solution such as Jamf or Apple Business Essentials.

How to set up AppConfig for Astropad Studio

To create an AppConfig we recommend you use Jamf's AppConfig Generator tool. 

1. Download our Specfile for Astropad Studio that is available here. 
2. Upload the Specfile to the AppConfig generator.
3. Use the online generator to configure the Studio specific settings, following the guidelines below. 

Available AppConfig Settings

• Enable office mode by default: Turns on office mode automatically, disabling Bonjour and other automatic network discovery tools. This is helpful for enterprise or education environments where you want controlled connections.
• Allow P2P Wireless connections: Allows you to disable peer-to-peer wireless connections, which is useful when many iPads are used in close proximity, such as classrooms or shared labs.
• Allowed login domains: Restrict logins to specific email domains if you only want users from your organization to sign in.
• Allowed login providers: Restrict which login providers can be used (for example, limit to Google logins only for company or university use).
• Default user to login / Default user password: Pre-configure a default shared account and password, ideal for shared devices in labs or classrooms.
