Add an Apple VPP account

  1. In the management console, on the menu bar, click Apps > iOS app licenses.
  2. Click Add an Apple VPP account.
  3. Type a name and the account holder information for the VPP account.
  4. In the VPP service token field, copy and paste the 64-bit code from the .vpp token file. This is the file that the VPP account holder downloaded from the VPP store.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Select the apps that you want to add to the app list. If an app has already been added to the app list, you cannot select it.
  7. If you want the apps to be updated automatically when an updated version is available on BlackBerry UEM, select Automatically update the app when a new version is available. This setting applies to all VPP apps for this VPP account.
  8. If you want the apps to be removed from devices when the apps are deleted from BlackBerry UEM, select Remove the app from the device when the device is removed from the system.
  9. To prevent apps on iOS devices from being backed up to the iCloud online service, select Disable iCloud backup for the app. This option applies only to apps with a disposition marked as required. You set the disposition of the app when you assign the app to a user or group.
  10. In the Default installation method drop-down list, perform one of the following actions:
    • Select Prompt once if you want users to receive one prompt to install the apps on their iOS devices. If users dismiss the prompt, they can install the apps later from the Work Apps list in the BlackBerry UEM Client app or the Work Apps icon on the device.
    • Select No prompt. Users are not notified. They can install the apps from the Work Apps list in the BlackBerry UEM Client app or the Work Apps icon on the device.
  11. Click Add.
  • You can click The Edit icon to edit the VPP account name, account holder information, service token, and the automatic update settings.
