[ipad] School Apple IDs, and Family Sharing conflict

[Bev]

Our Year 5s have 1;1 leased iPads, I have issued them all with a school Apple ID from Apple School Manager which they use for their iCloud, and then they use a personal AppleID for the App Store if they want and personal apps. Any school apps are sent out via our MDM automatically.

 

one of our students has brought be her iPad as she can't buy any personal apps. Her parent has created family sharing AppleIds, and her's is set up so that Dad has to approve any purchases she makes. However, when it's linked to the Apple School Manager iCloud account, she gets a message 'You can't ask permission because you have signed in with iCloud and iTunes accounts that are not associated with each other'

 

I've removed the school iCloud account for the moment which has fixed the problem, but if we ever get Apple Classroom working then she will need that putting back on her iPad.

 

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any suggestions?

Apple Classroom does not require any Apple ID unless you are using Shared iPad

Sounds like an Apple bug, report it. Seems like the asking permission code doesn't check if there's multiple IDs in use, or if some of them are special School Manager IDs or something

As far as I can tell, Apple Classroom does require an AppleId if the iPads are in a Management system. The manually create classes seems to only be offered to unmanaged devices.

 

Our staff can see the classes that I set up in Apple School Manager and dont' have the option to manually create a class.

It does not...

If iPads are managed via an MDM there is not any way to create manual classes....

For the Shared iPad approach, do you simply create a Student managed ID within School Manager and use that ID for the class set of iPads?

Each iPad requires it's own managed Apple ID's, you can't use one.
