Activating 
iOS
 devices that are enrolled in DEP

You can enroll 
iOS
 devices in 
Apple
's Device Enrollment Program and assign enrollment configurations to devices using the 
BlackBerry UEM
 management console. The enrollment configurations include extra rules, such as "Enable supervised mode," that are assigned to the devices during MDM enrollment. 
You can use an 
Apple Business Manager
 account to synchronize 
BlackBerry UEM
 with DEP. 
Apple Business Manager
 is a web-based portal in which you can enroll and manage iOS devices in DEP, and manage Apple VPP accounts. If your organization uses DEP or VPP, you can upgrade to Apple Business Manager.
When the devices are activated, 
BlackBerry UEM
 sends IT policies and profiles that you assigned to users.
For certain features to work, you must assign the 
BlackBerry UEM Client
 app to the users. Users must start the 
BlackBerry UEM Client
 after they activate the device. For information about when you need to assign the BlackBerry UEM Client app to users, visit support.blackberry.com/community to read article 39313.
