This article covers deployment of the PIXM browser extensions on an organization’s Jamf Pro managed iOS devices in the Safari browser. The deployment will require access to the iOS App Config file, which you should confirm before proceeding. Also note that, due to Apple System's Integrity Protocol, the full deployment will require end user enablement and permission granting steps, which will also be covered. The final section will also cover the uninstallation process.
