VPP and App bundles, can it be done?

[toffee_paul]

Hi,

 

Does anyone successfully used an MDM to download app bundles using VPP? Some of the teachers in the school are asking for Mr Thorne's Literacy Collection and although it appears in the app store for £12.99, it's doesn't look like I can purchase it though the Apple VPP, only the standalone apps. Not very economical to purchase the apps seperately as you can imagine so I was wondering if there's a way someone has found to purchase the bundle and deploy through an MDM? We're using Meraki.

 

Thanks,

Paul

I've been told you can usually contact the developers and ask them to make it available for VPP - it's apparently as simple as them ticking a box for that option...

Pretty sure that things haven't moved on since this was last asked: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/netbooks-pda-phones/160980-vpp-bundles-apps.html

 

I.e. the answer is no, you can't distribute app bundles via vpp and mdm.

 

(hopefully someone can prove me wrong)

Thanks Sparkeh. Was guilty of not searching!
