iOS

WSO2 IoT Server (WSO2 IoTS) supports devices on iOS 7, 8, 9 and 10. The following subsections explain how you can work with the iOS device type:

Enroll an iOS device

Follow the instructions given below to enroll an iOS device:

1. Sign in to the WSO2 IoTS Device Management Console.

    Click here for more information.

   Follow the instructions below to sign into the IoTS device management console:

   1. Start the server.

   2. Access the device management console.

      • For access via HTTP: 
http://<HTTP_HOST>:9763/devicemgt/ 

        For example: http://localhost:9763/devicemgt/
      • For access via secured HTTP: 
        https://<HTTPS_HOST>:9443/devicemgt/ 
For example: https://localhost:9443/devicemgt/ 

   3. Enter the username and password, and sign in.

      The system administrator will be able to log in using admin for both the username and password. However, other users will have to first register with IoTS before being able to log into the IoTS device management console. For more information on creating a new account, see Registering with IoTS.

      

   4. Click LOGIN. The respective device management console will change, based on the permissions assigned to the user.
      For example, the device management console for an administrator is as follows:
      

2. Click Enroll New Device.
   

3. Click iOS to enroll your device with WSO2 IoTS.
   The IoTS registration screen appears in the Safari browser. iOS devices need the root certificate to be downloaded to trust the server certificate. If the certificate is a self-signed SSL certificate, tap Install IoTS Certificate, else go to step 5.

   

4. Tap Install as required to download the root certificate. The IoTS registration screen appears.
   

   Tip

   If you are using iOS 10 with a self-signed certificate, do the following to mark it as a trusted certificate. This is required in iOS 10 because there is a change in how self-signed CA certificates are trusted by iOS devices from iOS 10 onwards.

   1. Open the Certificate Trust Settings found in Settings>General>About.

   2. Enable full trust for the certificate related to WSO2 IoT Server.

5. Tap Install IoTS Agent as shown in step 3. 

6. After the IoTS agent is installed, click on the WSO2 IoTS app on your device to start the registration.

   Getting an Untrusted Enterprise Developer message?

   When you open the WSO2 IoTS app for the first time, you may see the Untrusted Enterprise Developer message.

   Follow the steps given below to establish the trust for the IoTS iOS application:

   1. Click Cancel to dismiss the Untrusted Enterprise Developer message.
      
   2. Tap Settings > General > Profiles or Profiles & Device Management.
      
   3. Tap the WSO2 Inc profile that is under Enterprise App.

   4. Tap Trust "WSO2 Inc".

      An Internet connection is required to verify the app developer's certificate when establishing trust. If you are behind a firewall, make sure it's configured to allow connections to https://ppq.apple.com. If you are not connected to the Internet when you trust an app, the device displays Not Verified instead. In order to use the app, you need to connect to the Internet, and tap the Verify App button.

      

   5. Tap Trust to confirm that you trust the developer.
      
      The developer WSO2 Inc. remains trusted until you use Delete App to remove all apps from the developer.
      

   

7. Tap Allow to let the WSO2 Agent access your device location.

8. Enter your server address, based on your environment, in the text box provided. 

   • Developer Environment - Enter your entire server address as your server address.
     Example: https://10.10.10.123:9443
   • Deployment Environment - Enter your domain as your server address.
   
9. Tap Start Registration.
10. Enter your details:
    
    • Domain - Enter the domain only if the server is hosted with multi-tenant support.
    • Username - Enter the username that you provided when registering with WSO2 IoTS.
    • Password - Enter the password that you provided when registering with WSO2 IoTS.

    By default, WSO2 IoTS only supports the BYOD registration process for the iOS platform.

    

11. Tap Login. 

12. Read the End User License Agreement (EULA) and tap I accept the terms.
    

13. Tap Install where ever required to install the WSO2 Profile Service.
    

    A warning message appears to indicate that by installing the profile, WSO2 IoTS has access to remotely manage the iOS device. 

14. Tap Install.

    

15. Tap Trust to confirm that you are aware of the device being remotely managed by installing the profile.

    

16. After the profile is installed, click Done.
    

    Upon the successful registration, the following confirmation appears.

    

    Thereafter, your browser automatically closes and after 1 or 2 seconds, the native iOS Agent is loaded.

    Follow the instructions below to uninstall the iOS agent application:

    1. Locate the iOS agent app on your device.

    2. Tap and hold down the icon of the iOS agent app. After a few seconds, all the apps in your iPhone will start wiggling and a tiny "X" icon will appear beside them. Note that the "X" icon will not appear beside the apps that came with the device.
