Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/477

Is there a way to add subscriptions to the app remotely on a managed iOS device currently with the API or some other method? If not would it be possible for you to add a way to send a Configuration Profile to an iOS device managed via MDM with simple key / vals for populating subscriptions?

My use case would be customizing notifications for specific users that had the app & creating subscriptions exclusive to those users without having them have to add them manually to the app. Thanks!

I think that's a very reasonable request. Currently there is no way to sync accounts or subscriptions across devices. There is a ticket for that #159, but it's slightly different than what you are asking (i.e. not via MDM).

Sadly the iOS app is currently very buggy and not high on the list of things to focus on. I worked on it for a while, and I'll surely make my way back, but iOS gave me so much grief over trivial things that it was a real pain to work with.

Do you think there might be another method of remotely configuring subscriptions in the app that would not involve the MDM framework & simple to add to the code, e.g., maybe a .csv or .json import? Thanks for your reply.

So I know next to nothing about iOS and what can/cannot be done. The iOS app is miles behind the Android app, and first I need to catch up with Android before I do features like this. :-)

this would be perfect for around 40k devices we manage
