AppConnect apps for iOS behavior with MobileIron AppStation

The following describes the behavior of AppConnect apps for iOS if the device has both MobileIron Mobile@Work for device management (MDM) as well MobileIron AppStation for app management (MAM-only):

  • The apps that are AppConnect-enabled with a supported AppConnect version, switch to AppStation. If AppStation has the appropriate configurations from MobileIron Cloud, the apps continue to work with AppStation. If AppStation does not have the appropriate configurations from Cloud, control for the apps switches to MobileIron Go. The process is repeated if the app is uninstalled and re-installed.
  • AppConnect apps that are AppConnect-enabled with a version not supported by AppStation, always switch to Mobile@Work.
  • AppConnect apps that have already checked in with either Mobile@Work or AppStation continue to work with the original client with which the app checked in, even after a new client (Mobile@Work or AppStation) is added. The AppConnect app does not switch to the new client.
  • If the device has only AppStation, and the AppConnect apps are not enabled with AppConnect 4.3 or later, as supported by MobileIron, the apps run in non-AppConnect mode because they do not have a compatible UEM client to switch to.

AppStation supports AppConnect apps that are enabled with AppConnect 4.3 or later as supported by MobileIron.
