Applications that are not mandatory are not updated automatically. Please allow this as an option for VPP applications at the very least.

I see this was requested in 2022 but since the response there have been no further updates, we have just changed to Hexnode. We have over 1000 devices and 500 apps that arent mandatory so updating them individually is not an option.

Is there a way to update them automatically without going into each device one by one and then updating each app one by one.

Hello @nizzy ,

The feature is currently in our pipeline and has been prioritized for Windows devices. We plan to implement it on macOS and iOS devices as well. However, given that Apple devices have a way of managing app updates effectively—with apps being auto-updated if configured in the App Store for iOS devices or using the ‘Automatically install app updates’ option under macOS’s ‘Software Update Preferences’ policy —the priority for these platforms was set lower than for Windows.

We will bring your request to the team’s attention and work on establishing a timeline for the feature. Thank you for your patience, and we will keep you updated on our progress. 

Best regards,
