App distribution with Jamf Now is a simple process when you integrate with Apple's volume purchasing. Volume purchasing provides the best way for organizations to centrally purchase and deploy apps. When you purchase apps for managed distribution, your organization can assign apps to an employee's Apple Account or device while retaining ownership of the app. Jamf Now requires the use of volume purchasing to deploy paid iPad or iPhone apps, or any Mac or Apple TV apps.
For iPad or iPhone with iOS 12.3.x or earlier, users must delete built-in versions of the following apps on their devices before Jamf Now can manage the apps. After deletion, deploy apps using volume licenses via Jamf Now. Affected apps include: Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Garageband, iMovie, Clips, iTunes U, and Apple Store.
Non-supervised devices will prompt users to permit the installation of apps regardless of whether app licenses are used. Jamf recommends supervising your devices when deploying licensed apps to install apps without end user interaction.
