MDM deploying apps without Apple ID prompt on each iPad



Below are a set of instructions which will resolve the issue with Apple ID prompting each time an App is deployed.

Open iTunes and sign in with the same Apple ID and password used on your iPads. This is important because using the same Apple ID and password to which is used on the iPads is what causes the Apple ID prompt NOT to display when deploying Apps.



Once signed in, search for the free App you wish to roll out to your iPads. The search field is located in the top right hand corner.








Once iTunes has searched it's library you will see a list of related iPhone Apps, iPad Apps and songs.


Select the App you wish to download under the “iPad Apps” section.






















Once downloaded iTunes will store the download file in the following location:
Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Mobile applications.







Now the App/Apps have been downloaded, you then need to login to your MDM page, Select the group level to where you want to upload your App.


Once the correct the group level has been selected, click on the Apps button.

Towards the right hand of the screen you will see the option “Upload App” Click this option.








You will now need to browse to the App you wish to upload onto the iPads. Browse to the Mobile Applications folder (Location is shown towards the beginning of this guide). Select the App and click the Upload App button. Once the upload App button has been clicked the uploading process will take place, please be patient because the time the upload process can take all depends on the size of the App and your upload speed.

Once uploaded, the App will be listed and deployed onto your iPads.
