Configuration Overview

SupportID is fully configured through Managed App Configuration — the standard mechanism iOS uses to deliver settings to managed apps via MDM. No code changes or app updates are required to customize behavior.

How It Works

Your MDM solution delivers a configuration dictionary to the app via the com.apple.configuration.managed key in UserDefaults. SupportID reads this dictionary at launch and whenever it changes, updating the UI in real-time.

MDM Server → Configuration Profile → Device → UserDefaults → SupportID

Note

The app must be deployed as a managed app through your MDM for configuration delivery to work. Sideloaded or App Store installs without MDM management will not receive configuration.

Configuration Categories

SupportID’s configuration is organized into these categories:

General Settings App title and UI style.

Data Points Up to 5 customizable information fields.

UI Modes Large card or compact list layouts.

Storage Device storage usage display.

Shortcuts Self Service provider integration.

General Settings

Key	Type	Default	Description
appTitle	String	"SupportID"	The title displayed in the app header
uiStyle	String	"Large"	UI layout style: "Large" or "Regular"

Example

<key>appTitle</key>
<string>Your Details</string>

<key>uiStyle</key>
<string>Regular</string>

Section Visibility

Control which sections appear in the app:

Key	Type	Default	Description
showStorageSection	Boolean	true	Show or hide the Storage section
showShortcutsSection	Boolean	true	Show or hide the Shortcuts section

Example: Minimal Configuration

Show only data points — no storage bar or shortcut buttons:

<key>showStorageSection</key>
<false/>

<key>showShortcutsSection</key>
<false/>

Minimal vs. Full Configuration

You only need to include keys you want to change from defaults. Here’s the difference:

Minimal (3 keys)

<dict>
  <key>appTitle</key>
  <string>Device Info</string>

  <key>dataPoint1</key>
  <string>$SERIALNUMBER</string>

  <key>selfServiceProvider</key>
  <string>jamf</string>
</dict>

Full (all keys)

See the Configuration Keys Reference for a complete example with every available key.
