In enterprise environments, there are sometimes hundreds of employee phones centrally managed by some EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) software. This not only allows to limit the apps available for use (via a company-internal store ("Company App Store")) and remotely wipe devices (in the case of lost devices and fired employees), it also allows you to remotely set configurations of these apps to ease user experience. There are different types of management, like fully managed phones that belong to the company but also privately-owned phones with a work profile.
Starting with [[Version_4.0_Xamarin| App Version UBIK Xamarin Android 4.0]] and [[Version_4.08_Xamarin| UBIK Xamarin iOS 4.8]], the {{UBIK}} Xamarin app supports managed app configuration for configuring profiles. That removes the need to manually copy over a {{UBIK}} Profile to every phone and importing it before its users can use {{UBIK}}. Historically, there was also the need to deploy the customizing ("XAML") before the app could be properly used, however, this has been solved already with the help of the [[Deploy_UI_Customizings_(Client)|XAML rollout feature]].
== Function ==
The new '''''profile rollout''''' feature allows for the rollout of up to 25 individual [[Settings|Ubik Profiles]]. The configuration supports the [https://appconfig.org/ AppConfig.org] standard, allowing compatibility to almost every EMM software. During the application start, the current configuration values are read and profiles created (with <code>.managed.profile</code> ending). All profiles created by the system will be updated to the current configuration during the startup phase, allowing recently configured profiles to appear and no longer configured profiles to be removed. Other profiles added to the {{UBIK}} application will not be affected by this system (except they have a <code>.managed.profile</code> ending for some unknown reason). Clearing all profiles also clears the configured profiles, and the app needs to be restarted for them to update.
{{Hint|On Android, the system makes use of the Android Restrictions System. On iOS, the NSUserDefaults System is used. These libraries are native to the system and widely supported.}}
== Configuration==
All that's necessary to get the profile rolled out is to open a profile in your favorite text editor (we recommend Visual Studio Code or Notepad++) and copy the entire content into the configuration value. If your EMM system doesn't want to paste in multi-line strings, use an XML-minifier first.
