How do I update a VPP app on my iPads?

Hey everyone, our school’s iPads use apps purchased through the Volume Purchase Program and suddenly one of the apps notified us that it required to be updated to continue working. Since our iPads are managed through Hexnode, should I delete and purchase the app through School Manager again and add to Hexnode for the update to happen? Or is there some other way to do it?

APNs certificate renewal

Hi people, Hope you’re all doing well! I thought renewing our expired APNs certificate would be easy… nope. Now I keep getting this error: “APNs certificates do not match.” Has anyone encountered this before? I’d love to know how you fixed it!

Unable to use WhatsApp as update was not done on time

Hey everyone, one of my colleague’s WhatsApp was blocked out from access because he was unable to update it on time. The app was deployed as a VPP app from Hexnode in our organization.  Can someone help me find a solution to this problem? WhatsApp is an integral part of my colleague’s work as he works in Sales.

iMessages on new devices

Hey fellas! Just upgraded my iPhone, and my iMessages are acting a bit weird. The new device is enrolled in Hexnode, and the messages aren’t transferring like they used to. Anyone else run into this or know a fix?

DEP information and setting from the device

It would be very helpful if I could see the device DEP configuration option when I am looking at a device. It would be very helpful if I could set the device DEP configuration option when I'm looking at a device.

Policies

I think it would be extremely useful if in the criterias of Policies you could add the "Type" identifier in Hardware Info. Like this I could seperate iPhones from iPads

Select Devices within Group

I have a lot of iPads, and need to group them according to the location they are deployed. Management within the group selection is limited, and cannot select individual devices within the group. More management abilities should be available from the group instead of limiting them all to the general screen which is a mess.

We use FileMaker Go on our iOS devices to access our hosted database.  In order to simplify granting users access to our hosted database and avoid having to manually enter the URL for the host on in the application on each device, we can install a file in the FileMaker Go's "Documents" folder on the iOS…
