Using an MDM solution you can manage and control the installation of the iOS Cortex XDR App across all managed corporate or personally-owned iOS devices.
These instructions are supplied by Palo Alto Networks to assist our customers. Support with third party vendor tools (with the exception of JAMF) is out of the scope of Palo Alto Networks.
Create the iOS App installation package using the Cortex XDR console, and then extract the app link and Distribution ID.
In the iOS MDM, create a mobile device app for Cortex XDR. The app is not publicly visible in the App Store. You must enter the app link that you got from the installation package manually. Searching the App Store won't return any results.
Set a display name, such as, Cortex XDR.
Set the short version that you see in the app store.
Set the bundle identifier "com.paloaltonetworks.cortex.ios"
Set the app as Free.
If available, set the distribution method to Install Automatically.
If available, set Automatically Force App Updates if you intend to always keep the app up to date.
If available, set Convert Unmanaged App to Managed.
If available, set Allow Users to Remove The App to False.
