Could Apple TV application support Application Configuration as well?Solved

Hi @alex-zhang, thank you for reaching out on Hexnode Connect!

As a workaround, you can use the Deploy Custom Configuration under Policies > Apple TV to deploy .plist files containing the app configuration to your tvOS devices. To obtain the .plist file, you may reach out to the app developer.

We greatly appreciate your requests and suggestions with the Hexnode Community and looking forward to more.

Cheers!

Hi @Chris,

Is hexnode’s Custom Configuration capable of sending Application Configurations alongside the apps when they are deployed? I am referencing something like what JAMF Pro lets you do when deploying an application under “App Configuration”, which is about passing some specefic configuration dictionary/plist to the apps that can have hard coded values in addition to standard variables which will be replaced by devices specific values upon deployment. For example, in JAMF Pro, I can specify the following for an application when creating an application profile

<dict>

<key>eztv_hardcoded</key>

<string>hardcoded_value</string>

<key>eztv_udid</key>

<string>$UDID</string>

</dict>

And then the value of eztv_udid will be replaced by the actual UDID of the device and will be availble to the application that I’m configuring.

I have a digital sigange application for Apple TV (called EZ Plus) and one of my customers is using your solution for their MDM, and hence I’m trying to figure out how to help them customize the application and deploy remotely.

Thanks,

Hello @behrang-makouei, welcome to Hexnode Connect!

Hexnode UEM currently does not support the deployment of application configurations to Apple TVs. However, we will take up the use-case with the respective teams and check the feasibility of implementing the feature.
We’ll surely keep you in the loop!
