Take control of Apple beta programs with declarative device management
Blog post from Fleet
With the introduction of declarative device management (DDM), controlling beta software enrollment on Apple devices has shifted from a blunt all-or-nothing approach to a more nuanced, device-specific policy. This change allows administrators to selectively offer, block, or mandate beta program participation on a per-device basis using a JSON payload in the Fleet UI or through GitOps. The critical component of this process is obtaining beta program tokens from Apple Business, a task that is streamlined by a script published by Microsoft and HCS Technology Group, which automates the otherwise tedious manual authentication process. Once the tokens are obtained, they can be used to manage beta offerings across an organization's fleet, providing flexibility to test new software versions on specific devices without disrupting the entire network. This level of control ensures that only designated test devices receive beta updates while others remain unaffected, allowing for a more controlled and efficient testing environment.
