Apple VPP Apps

Unlike File Level Filesets, Apple VPP Filesets contain the details of the App from the App Store, including the link to the App, with 3 distinct tabs, Details, Kiosk and Configuration.  

FileWave does not store Apps from the App Store, devices will pull the Apps directly from the App Store on successful activation.

Details

Amongst these are some key entries:

Remove App when MDM profile is removed

If the device has the MDM enrolment profile removed, this option will force Apps managed by MDM to be removed.

Prevent Data Backup

Disallow the App from backing up user data

Take management of this app if the user has installed it already

For Apps already installed, the MDM server will take over management of the App from the user.  This allows VPP to auto update the App, amongst other things.
