Description
In iOS 17.4 Apple introduced alternative app marketplaces — App Stores that are hosted and operated by third-parties in Europe and will be capable of delivering apps directly to iPhones from a source outside the App Store.
Apple released the allowMarketplaceAppInstallation restriction for devices managed by an MDM in response to EU devices now having access to the alternative app marketplace. This restriction can be deployed as part of your Jamf Now Blueprint settings.
