Hi all,

Having a bit of a struggle figuring out how to package and send out an application without having user have to sign in to an apple account. See image attached. Is there anyway in composer to bypass signing with an apple account to open the app?

You dont ever package appstore apps for deployment. Appstore apps are all licensed, and if you try to packge one the license will be missing. When the user launches the app it will demand a license be provided, apple handles licensing off of Apple Accounts.

 

For managed distrubtion you will need to go to Apple Business/School Manager, buy whatever number of licenses you need and assign them to Jamf. Jamf can then assign the licenses out to devices using "Apps and Books" which is just Volume Purchase Program or VPP rebranded. Then you scope out the App Store app in Jamf to devices.
