TL;DR

Learn how to access, navigate, and install apps from your organization's App Store on your iOS device.

Access & Login

Sometimes you will be required to authenticate in order to access the App Store or a given App. Depending on your organization's configuration, there will be one or multiple Authentication options:

  1. Traditional login or LDAP: Enter your email or corporate user name and password. Then click the green Next button to proceed.

  2. Single-Sign On: If available, a green button with the text Login with Company Name will be displayed at the top of the login screen. Click on it, and you will be redirected to the Single-Sign-On screen where you can securely enter your corporate login credentials.

Change language

Applivery is available in 10 different languages. It automatically detects your operating system's default language and applies it if available. If not, the default language (English) will be automatically selected. You can change the language at any time from the More options > Change language menu located at the top right of the App Store.
