Free store apps

Hi Hibiki,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Hexnode can integrate with Apple’s Volume Purchase Program, which is an enterprise solution to deploy applications from the Appstore. You can purchase applications from the Appstore for your devices. If they are free, you need not pay any money.

Once this is done, you can sync this VPP account to your Hexnode account, and deploy these applications to your devices.

If your devices are supervised, this method shall install the applications on them silently, else the users shall be prompted to download the application. This method doesn’t require an Apple ID to be signed in on the device at the time of deployment.

You can learn more about this method in our help document for this topic:

Cheers!
