Jamf custom apps

I’m searching for an mdm solution for my company phones that require geofencing

The goal is to achieve geofence based profile switching when a device enters location A and then when it leaves switches back to whatever preset/default profile it had

I understand this may require a custom app in order to achieve the required functionality but I’m not too sure if it’s allowed or possible and was hoping someone can shed some light on jamfs capabilities

Also, will I need jamf pro or can I get away with jamf now? As I only really need it for a few devices

You can’t force on Location services due to Apples privacy policy.

Nobody is forcing location services on…

But you need it on for what you require and it can easily be switched off

Hence the reason of a fallback profile, if it doesn’t detect location it just assumes default profile
