Review configuration settings to confirm "Allow Trusting New Enterprise App Authors" is disabled. This procedure is performed in the Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool and on the iPhone and iPad. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the Management tool, verify "Allow Trusting New Enterprise App Authors" is disabled. On the iPhone and iPad: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "Profiles & Device Management" or "Profiles". 4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool containing the restrictions policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions". 6. Verify "Trusting enterprise apps not allowed" is listed. If "Allow Trusting New Enterprise App Authors" is not disabled in the iOS/iPadOS management tool or on the iPhone and iPad, this is a finding. Note: This requirement is the same as AIOS-17-707000 in the Apple iOS/iPadOS 17 BYOAD STIG.
