Support for iOS and Android OS Mobile Devices
Both Apple iOS and Google Android have management functionality whose API’s and integration are different but provide basically the same security and control on mobile devices. Both Apple and Google rely on their integration with the MobileRMM platform to enable centralized management, device deployment, enforcement of security policies, distribute apps and content, and ensure compliance with company standards.
iOS Device Management
iOS device management requires each organization obtain an Apple Push Notifications service (APNs) certificate which allows you to create a trusted relationship between your iOS devices, Apple, and MobileRMM. APNs certificates must be renewed annually. Remember: the APNs certificate is required to manage devices with MobileRMM.
Additionally, there is support for the Apple Business Manager by the MobileRMM platform. The integration of the Apple Business Manager provides the MobileRMM platform to utilize Apple Automated Device Enrollment functionality which provides simplified device enrollment and allows access to Apple’s extended device supervision capabilities for company owned devices.
Android Device Management
Android Enterprise Mobile Management (EMM) offers a range of options to deploy and manage Android devices, depending on how they’ll be used and your specific needs. Android Enterprise requires the use of a Gmail account that will be used to create a Managed Google Play Enterprise Account that is used to deploy and maintain applications on managed devices.
