Hi,

Question for those using an MDM with Single App mode pushed to devices on iOS 7. I am using AirWatch, but not sure if the issue I'm seeing is related to AirWatch or is it a general Apple restriction?

Is there any way to update an app in single app mode automatically? When I try to load a new app version, nothing happens on the device if it is locked to that app. When I then remove the Single App Mode profile in the AirWatch console, a popup appears asking the user to either allow the update or cancel - it still does not automatically kick off the app update.

I am looking for a way to update the app without any end user interaction needed and minimal management on the admin side (i.e. not have to remove the single app mode profile).

Thoughts?
