As communicated by Apple, the Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) will cease to exist and it is replaced by Apple Business Manager (ABM).As a result of the above, customers using mobile applications from IFS distributed previously through VPP need to change their distribution method to use an ABM account instead for receiving IFS apps
All customers who have VPP accounts should be aware of that they need to move to ABM. Apple changed the links to redirect them to the new program, and new links are required to get to the VPP program: https://vpp.itunes.apple.com/ . Once there, customers are reminded to update to Apple Business Manager. Once they have enrolled in ABM, they create a Location for each VPP account and invite the VPP Purchaser. All apps should continue to operate without issue
The IFS/Partner App Manager needs to make sure to add the Organization ID to Pricing and Availability when sending the new app version to the customer . (customers can only have the Organization ID if they have upgraded to ABM )
See the ABM Getting Started Guide: https://www.apple.com/business/docs/site/Apple_Business_Manager_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf .
Affected Customers : All Apps9, Apps10 and FSM customers who are using any mobile iOS client apps from IFS that are distributed through VPP.
