The Files Advanced mobile supports iOS 7's Managed App Configuration features. If the prerequisites listed below are met, you can add certain keys to your MDM configuration and they will affect the Files Advanced mobile.

We support the use of the following keys:

Creating a plist file

plist is a format for storing application data. It was originally defined by Apple, for use in iPhone devices and later spread to other applications. Since plists are actually XML files, you can use a simple text editor to create and edit them.

Creating the plist file

  1. Open a text editor of your choice.
  2. Enter the following:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

    <plist version="1.0">

    <dict>

    Enter your desired keys here

    </dict>

    </plist>

    Example:

    <dict>

    <key>enrollmentServer</key>

    <string>server.example.com</string>

    <key>userName</key>

    <string>username</string>

    <key>enrollmentPIN</key>

    <string>11Y9KL</string>

    </dict>

  3. Save the file as plist.xml.

Uploading the plist file to MobileIron

  1. Open your MobileIron administration portal.
  2. Navigate to Policies & Configurationss > Configurations > Add New > iOS and OSX > Managed App Configuration and upload the plist file.

Uploading the plist file to Microsoft Intune
