Wrapping Third-Party Enterprise Apps with Apple Developer Tools Command Line

As an administrator for Citrix Endpoint Management, you know the importance of securely delivering third-party enterprise apps to your users while maintaining control over app behavior and data security. One way to achieve this is by wrapping these apps using Apple's developer tools command line.

To get started, users can subscribe, download, and install the app on their device. When they sign in, the app appears in the store. To configure specific app details and policy settings that the Endpoint Management Store enforces, administrators must upload an mdx file to the Endpoint Management console.

The macOS command-line tool provides customization options, allowing you to reference scripts that automate the app wrapping process and preset some MDX policies. This flexibility makes it easier to manage large-scale app deployments while maintaining a high level of security.

In addition to the command-line tool, Apple's MDX Toolkit includes a macOS graphical interface tool that simplifies the wrapping process. Whether you're an administrator or a developer, this toolkit provides the necessary tools to wrap third-party enterprise apps and ISV (Independent Software Vendor) apps with ease.

This article provides an overview of how Citrix Endpoint Management administrators can wrap third-party enterprise apps using Apple's developer tools command line. By following these steps, you'll be able to securely deliver your apps while maintaining control over app behavior and data security.
