Feature Request: Automatic Updating of managed iOS Apps

[RoboTech]

Has this feature been implemented or is it in the works? Last time I checked we had to manually update any apps pushed to iOS devices. Jamf has had this feature for a while...

It's definitely not implemented at this point.

That's too bad. Can we start a feature request and put some major heat on Meraki to add this. It's kind of ridiculous to be baby sitting app updates in the year 2018.

Yeah Airwatch has had this feature for awhile now too.

Renamed to "Feature Request"

We need this feature with 60+ apps in the catalog. I will submit a "wish".

It is a good idea, but we should have the ability to not auto update apps as well. We have a couple apps that the developers enjoy using us as beta testers so we'd like to avoid that.

I submitted a wish for this a loooooooooong time ago and I'm still waiting for it to happen. I'm just glad the new App management screen makes it a bit easier to update the apps but I'd much rather not have to manually check for and apply updates. With hundreds of different Apps and multiple schools this is rather time consuming.

I've been submitting this and other stuff as wishes for a few years and nothing has ever come of it... oh well, just another wish in the well 😉

Looks like we finally have a solution!
