I Do Declare...

At WWDC in 2022, Apple told us that the focus of future protocol features will be declarative device management. In 2023 we learned that the focus on new protocol features IS declarative device management. So what does this mean beyond the beautifully curated slides of a WWDC presentation? In this session we are going to look at what declarations do, how they work, why they are different to MDM commands and configuration profiles, and some of the opportunities they bring to Apple device management. We’ll look at some real-world implementation examples to better understand our current reality now that we live in this exciting new world!
