The first step to pushing apps from Apple School Manager is to set up your account. To do this, visit the Apple School Manager website and follow the instructions to create an account. You will need to provide information about your educational institution and verify your eligibility for the program.

Step 2: Configure Mobile Device Management (MDM)

To configure MDM, go to the "Settings" section of your Apple School Manager account and follow the prompts to set up your preferred MDM solution.

Step 3: Enroll Devices

After configuring MDM, you will need to enroll the devices that you want to push apps to. This can be done by physically setting up the devices or by using an enrollment program. Once the devices are enrolled with your MDM solution, they will appear in your Apple School Manager account.

Step 4: Purchase and Assign Apps

Now that your devices are enrolled, it's time to purchase and assign apps from Apple School Manager. To do this, open the "Apps and Books" section of your account and browse through the available apps. You can search for specific apps or explore different categories.

Once the app is purchased, you can assign it to specific devices, groups of devices, or all devices in your Apple School Manager account. To assign the app, click on the "Assign" button and choose the desired assignment method. You can also set an expiration date for the assignment if needed.

Step 5: Push Apps to Devices

With the apps purchased and assigned, it's time to push them to the enrolled devices. To do this, go to the "Apps and Books" section of your Apple School Manager account and click on "My Devices." Here, you will see a list of all the devices that are enrolled with your MDM solution.

To push an app to a specific device or group of devices, select the desired devices and click on the "Actions" button. From here, choose the "Install App" option and select the app that you want to push. Confirm the installation and the app will be sent to the selected devices over the air.

Step 6: Monitor and Manage

Once the app is pushed to the devices, you can monitor and manage their usage through your MDM solution. This allows you to keep track of app installations, updates, and usage statistics. You can also remotely remove apps from devices if needed.
