Application management
This article describes LogMeIn Resolve MDM's application management features.
About application management in LogMeIn Resolve MDM
LogMeIn Resolve MDM’s application management capabilities help administrators oversee and manage the installation, configuration, and updating of internally developed or commercially available applications on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows devices.
Available app management features vary slightly between the device platforms and device management methods.
The maximum file size for uploading an application to LogMeIn Resolve MDM is 2 GB or the quota that is left, whichever is smaller. Every LogMeIn Resolve MDM site has a quota limit of 5 GB for file uploads. In case you need more space for storing your apps, contact our support team.
To prevent the incorrect deployment of applications on your managed devices, the application deployment wizard of LogMeIn Resolve MDM only lists devices that match the device platform of the application. Additionally, applications can only be deployed to devices that are not in Unmanaged state on your LogMeIn Resolve MDM site.
Android
Android application management capabilities depend heavily on the device management method and the type of applications.
It is important to understand that certain app management capabilities, such as silent app deployment or remote configuration of app settings, are not universally supported by all device management methods and application types. Instead, you need to consider the compatibility of the device management method and the type of applications you are managing.
The Android device management article explains the different device enrollment and management methods, whereas the Application management and deployment for Android article describes which of LogMeIn Resolve MDM's app management capabilities are supported for each of the device management methods.
iOS
For Apple iPhone and iPad devices, the extent of application management somewhat depends on whether you are managing your devices in supervised mode.
However, regardless of the devices' supervision state, you can always use LogMeIn Resolve MDM to deploy, configure, update, and uninstall in-house (.IPA) apps and App Store apps on managed devices remotely.
The key difference is that managing iOS devices in supervised mode also gives you the ability to deny the use of unwanted apps on your devices as well as the possibility to silently deploy apps to the managed devices without distracting device users.
LogMeIn Resolve MDM integrates with Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager (previously Apple Volume Purchase Program or VPP), which means you can purchase apps in bulk using Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, deploy the purchased apps using LogMeIn Resolve MDM, and manage the licenses in LogMeIn Resolve MDM.
For further details, see iOS device management and Application management and deployment for iOS.
macOS
LogMeIn Resolve MDM supports the deployment of application packages (.PKG) and Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager apps to Mac devices. You can also deploy your own scripts to your managed Mac devices.
You can manage the licenses of apps purchased through Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager in LogMeIn Resolve MDM.
LogMeIn Resolve MDM supports the remote deployment of app updates for Mac devices, but the remote configuration or uninstallation of macOS apps is not currently possible.
For more details, see MacOS device management, Application management and deployment, and Mac scripting.
Windows
LogMeIn Resolve MDM's Windows application management features are compatible with devices running Windows 10 and Windows 11, or a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or 8.
You can currently use LogMeIn Resolve MDM for deploying software and scripts to managed devices. The management of software versions and software updates.
Microsoft Store for business apps is not supported by LogMeIn Resolve MDM.
