AppState academic and business units have the ability to obtain licenses for apps from Apple's App Store (for Mac, iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch) for deployment on University-owned and managed devices. Follow these steps to obtain licenses of a free or paid app from the App Store, which can then be distributed to your devices over the network.
Apps can only be distributed to University-owned devices that are managed in Jamf Pro. We cannot distribute these to personal or non-managed devices at this time. |
If all you need is a free App to deploy to managed devices, go to the following guide for how to Request Deployment of Apps from the App Store. |

When prompted, add a phone number that can receive texts for 2-factor authentication.
Enter the verification code sent to your phone.
Update your password (use your temporary password as your current password).
Click continue when prompted.

Next, we need to add a purchasing method. From the bottom of the left sidebar, click on Settings.
