Devices must either have declarative device management enabled or meet the following legacy command requirements:

  • Devices have iPadOS 13 or later, iOS 9 or later, macOS 10.11.5 or later, or tvOS 9 or later, and are enrolled via Automated Device Enrollment.

  • Devices are unlocked. If a device is locked, such as via a passcode or FileVault enabled, the OS update will download but remain uninstalled. Users must unlock the device, and then manually install the OS update on their device.

  • Devices are not in Single App Mode. If a device is in Single App Mode, it will be unable to receive OS Update commands. Deploy any OS updates before placing a device in Single App Mode. Devices already in Single App Mode will need to be taken out of this mode to receive the update.

Note:On devices with declarative device management enabled, updates download and install automatically after the user unlocks the device.
