Add apps

Apps can be added to blueprints. They don’t actually get added, but they are assigned and will be added to any device that has the blueprint applied.

Add apps from the Volume Purchase Program (VPP)

  1. Choose Store > Sign In and sign in to the App Store with your VPP account.

    You must have a license for each device that the app is assigned to.

  2. If asked, enter the 6-digit code delivered to the SMS-enabled phone associated with your account, then click Continue.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Click the Add button in the toolbar, select Apps, then select the apps in the window.

    • Choose Actions > Add > Apps.

    • Control-click a blueprint or device, then select Add > Apps.

      The number beneath each app indicates the number of licenses the app has available for assignment.

  4. Click Add Apps, and the apps are immediately added to the device or stored as an action on the blueprint.

Add apps using your personal Apple ID

  1. Choose Store > Sign In and sign in to the App Store with your personal Apple ID.

    The same Apple ID used to purchase the apps must be used on the device.

  2. Locate existing apps on your Mac, then drag them over the device, or do one of the following:

    • Click the Add button in the toolbar, select Apps, then select the apps in the window.

    • Choose Actions > Add > Apps.

    • Control-click a blueprint or device, then select Add > Apps.

  3. Click Add Apps, and the apps are immediately added to the device or stored as an action on the blueprint.
