We have around 200+ Apple devices that are reset 2-3 times per year for temporary workers. I have used a profile to automatically setup Google Workspace mailboxes on iPhones and iPads through SME. We had 2 mailboxes setup per phone: Personal, owner's mailbox, with personal email Mailbox (single) containing only external contacts for easier sharing Every device would be provisioned with those 2 mailboxes through MDM. contacts mailbox would have the password pushed using MDM, while personal mailbox would require the owner to provide the password. We used Exchange Activeync for iOS as instructed by Meraki documentation. Every Apple device would be provisioned through MDM with owner's email and Google Workspace settings. The owner would only have to enter his email password. That worked flawlessly for 8+ years until 2 weeks ago when suddenly, both mailboxes would randomly ask device user to enter the password. The passwords would not be accepted and the request would keep randomly popping up. I tried to manually provision a single Google WKS email account on a managed device (Apple Mail) and it worked using Google option. Meraki MDM Exchange Active Sync setting for iOS that worked for many years stopped working for Google workspace. Our only option is now to provision Google account manually on every device what is time consuming. Testing, we have discovered that iOS Exchange ActiveSync profile setting now only works for Microsoft 365 and automatically opens Microsoft authentication page. Setup for Google Workspace using ActiveSync as per Meraki documentation (last version from 2023) does not work anymore. Is there anybody who had the same issue?
