I have a few apps assigned through VPP and I noticed the update behavior has recently changed. The app is successfully setup in VPP. Under Systems Manager/Apps, the app currently shows version v3.38. The "keep app up to date" option is NOT checked, and the Purchase method is VPP device assignment. The current version for the app in the Apple App Store is v4.2. Until recently, deploying the app through Systems Manager would push the 3.38 version as this is the current version setup in VPP. For example, if I setup a new iPad or factory reset an older one, v3.38 would be pushed to the iPad. Sometime recently this changed. Pushing the app down from SM now deploys version 4.2, which is the version in App Store. It seems to be bypassing the VPP setup completely. I have tried this on several iPads and the results are the same. This is a problem as we need to control the deployment of the app independently from the App Store availability. Any ideas why an update would be pushing the App Store version down and not the VPP version down as it did in the past? Many thanks! Steve
