These are the apps which are installed through MDM and which can be remove through MDM. I was talking about them. Taking into account possibility of app removal through MDM, it's important whether app is managed or not. So, I am not sure what did you mean by "The apps don't get managed - the entire OS gets managed." | |
| Apr 12, 2013 at 20:07 | comment | added | bmike♦ | Sorry - I just avoided that part of the question since you didn't mention what kind of app and what kind of MDM. The apps don't get managed - the entire OS gets managed. Free apps still come from Apple and not the MDM in all cases I'm familiar with. Similarly - once the device is under management - you can poll for inventory of all installed apps whether or not it came from the MDM or elsewhere. The user policy should state this clearly for your end user so they know what they are signing up for in a BYOD scenario and their device enters management. | |

So, it's not obvious what would will happen. If an application is rejected then it will be on the device as unmanaged app, if it's overwritten (with or without user acceptance) then it becomes managed. | |

In practice, it's not an issue since it doesn't matter what account is wrapped into the code signature to validate the package. | |
