Google is rolling out the ability for Workspace admins to remotely set custom configs for managed iOS apps on end-user devices for their enterprise using Google Mobile Device Management. Until now, mobile app configuration was only available for managed Android devices.

"Starting today, Workspace admins can use Managed App Configuration to set custom app configurations and deploy them to manage iOS devices across their organization. This gives admins the flexibility they need to create safety parameters that align with the various needs of users across their organization," Google wrote in a blog post.

Managed configurations are applied using XML property lists and the same app can be configured differently across different domains, groups, or organizational units (OUs).

The new feature is rolling out to both Rapid and Scheduled Release domains starting today and may potentially take longer than 15 days to be fully visible.

It will be available to Google Workspace Business Plus, Enterprise Standard and Enterprise Plus, Enterprise Essentials and Essentials Plus, Education Standard and Education Plus, Nonprofits, Frontline Starter and Standard and Cloud Identity Premium customers.
