How does AppConfig Work?

AppConfig uses XML dictionaries to automate the configuration of essential app settings such as URL/port settings, group codes, email addresses, and license keys. This eliminates the need for end-user intervention during the initial setup, simplifying the deployment process. By centralizing configuration management, AppConfig allows for the consistent application of settings across multiple environments and devices without requiring an additional Library Item.

Configuring AppConfig for an iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS App

1. Login to your Kandji tenant and Navigate to the Library.
2. Select an App Store App that supports AppConfig.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the Library Item, and check the Set app configuration checkbox. 
4. Paste in your AppConfig dictionary. 
5. Click Save.
