Many schools are now moving from distributing apps using Apple Configurator managed codes to managed distribution in iOS 9 via their chosen mobile device management (MDM) solution. Here's how to do it...
One of the first steps in migrating is to check if existing apps are 'device-assignable' in the VPP store. If you need to check an individual app, you have to browse the VPP store (not the iTunes links). Just scroll down to the 'Compatibility' section of the app description and you’ll see it as in the image below:
All the Apple iOS apps (GarageBand, iMovie, Pages, Keynote, Numbers) and the Microsoft Office apps for iOS (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) are device-assignable. We're yet to find an app we use day to day that isn’t device-assignable, but it's something that developers now need to bear in mind, so definitely worth checking with any apps you use. Here's a list of some of the most common classroom apps we use that we have checked are device-assignable:
