Updating managed iOS or macOS apps

Managed apps are applications that have been prepared for deployment on your Miradore site.

All managed apps are listed in the Management > Applications page on Miradore.

• How to deploy apps to macOS devices

How to check app version on your devices

Device’s inventory data at the Applications tab is the best place to check which application versions your device has installed.

How to update a managed app

Update procedure varies slightly for (uploaded) in-house apps and App Store apps. In both cases, you can only update Managed apps which have been deployed to devices through Miradore earlier.

Update procedure for App Store apps (iOS)

1. Go to Management > Applications page.
2. Open the application that you want to update on your devices.
3. Choose Actions > Update to all devices. This will command all devices, having the app installed, to download and install the latest compatible version from App Store.
   • Device user may be asked approve the installation and enter his/her iTunes password during the installation

If you want that only some selected devices should update the application, use the Actions > Update application option and you will be asked to choose the desired devices.

Notice that all older iOS versions don’t necessarily support the latest app version available on App Store. If so, the device installs the latest applicable version.

Update procedure for in-house apps (iOS & macOS)

1. Go to Management > Applications page.
2. Open the old version of the application that you have deployed to devices earlier.
3. Click Edit and replace the previously uploaded application package file in Uploaded file field with a newer version.
4. Click Update to save the changes.
5. Then deploy the new application version to your devices by choosing Actions > Update to all devices. Alternatively, you can choose Actions > Update application, if you want to deploy the updated application version only to some, selected devices.

How to monitor the progress of the updates

You can track the upgrade progress from the Management > Action log page.

You can filter the page contents by entering “Update application” to the Action type column.
