This article describes Miradore's application management features. To use these features, you must have a Premium or Premium+ subscription.

About application management in Miradore

Miradore’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 Miradore is 2 GB or the quota that is left, whichever is smaller. Every Miradore 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 Miradore 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 Miradore 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 Miradore'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 Miradore to deploy, configure, update, and uninstall in-house (.IPA) apps and App Store apps to the 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.

Miradore 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 Miradore, and manage the licenses in Miradore.

For further details, see iOS device management and Application management and deployment for iOS.

macOS

Miradore 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 Miradore.

Miradore 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 the MacOS device management, Application management and deployment and Mac scripting.

Windows

Miradore'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 Miradore 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 Miradore.
