Mobile Device Management distribution of the mobile app
Key Takeaway
When IT needs to control how the Life Sciences Cloud mobile app and its new versions reach field users' iPads, manage the app through MDM using the Salesforce Mobile SDK's managed app configuration, instead of having users get it from the public Apple App Store.
Field users can get the Life Sciences Cloud mobile app from the public Apple App Store. A company can instead bring the app under Mobile Device Management (MDM), so users don't each get it from the public store. With MDM, the company decides how the app and its updates reach users. An admin can also point the app's download link at the organization's MDM URL.
