It all started five years ago when Apple introduced the future of device management in the form of declarative. Since then it's been a steady march onwards as more and more things shift from the legacy MDM methods to the newer, glossier, declarative methods. It's been a shift that even half a decade on - there is still some hesitation, dare I say… trepidation as some worry over the new and shiny thing. And while the future is declarative - what do we do about all of this legacy stuff that has yet to transition into the future? How do we support it in this brave new world? Today's guest is here to talk to us about how he learned how to stop worrying and learned to love the legacy profile.
