"Allow App and Book Assignment?" notification never stops. How do I accept terms of service? No accept / Agree button?

Hello,


Using the iPhone of various models After I install a program called Microsoft Intune Company Portal and I sign in to the program and it creates a management profile, A popup keeps showing up called.




"Allow App and Book Assignment?"

"i.manage.microsoft.com" would like to assign apps and books to you.


When i press Continue It opens a 2 page Apple Media Terms and Service agreement (ToS).

But after you view 2 pages , there's no way to accept the agreement or continue.


There's an email option, but emailing the ToS does not allow one to proceed foward.


I can close out the ToS, but the i.manage.microsoft.com pop will appear all the time.

It's driving me crazy. I can't text, I cant surf , I can take a picture, read a text or use apps, without this popup coming up all the time. This happens with various Iphone models. Becuase I install the intune software for work employees.

iPhone 8

I also brought this issue up with microsoft and this is the workaround they concluded:

++ What you have to do is install Intune and complete the install and registration on the iPhone.

Then you do the same on the iPad. (using the same user's credentials.)


++ On the Ipad though you will be able to press the "agree button" on the terms of service

++ Once you do that on the Ipad, the settings are transferred to the Iphone through Intune

++ And your phone should not have any more pop ups, because it did it on the Ipad.

++ Lastly remove the Ipad from the user's phone in the Intune --> devices.

*Note: i haven't tried doing this on another Iphone that already works*


Microsoft says this is due to the latest IOS versions affecting intune on Iphones. Who knows who's at fault, this is a workaround and hopefully will be fixed so we dont have to rely on an Ipad.

Ok. The accept apps and books in settings didn’t work. My IT guy at work had to reset my intune. So from the company site they disconnected my intune account and then rejoined me. I had to go through the setup steps again for allowing management of my profile by my companies intune. The IT group requested DO NOT TRY to download apps from intune. Once you try it will perpetually send you the agreement with no way to accept it. Supposedly if you do it from an iPad it will work. But it’s broken on the iPhone.

I can confirm that too. Both IOS 13 and 13.1 act exactly as described. There is "Agree" button now, but it doesn't work! Also to confirm that it is not Microsoft Intune issue. We have AirWatch and have exactly the same issue and started experiencing it at the same time. No "Cancel" or "Agree" buttons since IOS 12.1.2 - that is the last one I confirmed worked for us and had buttons. IOS 13 (and 13.1) brings the buttons back, but they do not work. I've called Apple Business support and opened a ticket on this one like 4 month ago (as many other people, I'm sure), but it is still not fixed!


That is insane that they can't fix that for so long. We still have to use a workaround with the older IOS for each user we're adding to our MDM. MDM was suppose to make our life easier and cut down the time needed to setup a new phone. Because of this bug it actually takes longer then to do config manually. We do use iPhones with older OS (11.x) and not an iPad as described in the workaround and it works OK.

We have this issue too, and it is definitely related to MS intune, rather than the iOS device itself. Some things we noticed about our setup:

    1. Enrolment Profiles - corrupt enrolment file due to a field with too many characters, this wasn't allowing us to update and hide the available options on setup. We believe the T&Cs issue is related to this.
    2. iOS 12.2 and below are not impacted by this issue. 12.2.1 and above are impacted.
    3. Newly enrolled DEP devices do not see this issue, but factory reset DEP devices do if they're above 12.2.
    4. We currently use the legacy VPP, and have not migrated to the new app distro platform, this we are investigating.


We've a ticket open with MS premium support, but since fixing our enrolment profile, it seems to have gone away. Time will tell.

To dismiss the “Allow App and Book Assignment?” pop-up

on your iPhone, please follow the below steps.


Click on the Settings app on the Home

Screen 


Select your

Apple ID account


Here is the instructions from the IT department at my work. It seems to work.


Click iTunes

& App Store 

Slide the toggle on for

both Apps and Books & Audiobooks  

You have now allowed automatic downloads of apps form Intune

Comp Portal and should no longer receive the pop-up.

This issue is also occurring on some our managed devices. Trying to narrow it down to determine if it is related to iOS version.


The devices that are experiencing the issue are running iOS 12.3 and below, whereas 12.4 is available.


Cannot comment on whether it is really related to user owned apps, given that I personally erased an iPhone via Erase All Content and Settings > Setup as New > MFA + Comp Portal + Outlook were the only items assigned. Pop-up to "Allow App and Book Assignment" still occurred.

Unfortunately Apple came back to me (after 4 months!!!) with the conclusion it is not an Apple issue, but an InTune issue. Personally I doubt it in an InTune issue, as the issue is that the Apple media terms are displayed in the App Store application of Apple.


Did anybody logged the the issue with Microsoft and what is their response?
