Deploy Company Portal for iOS as a required VPP app
ADE devices need the VPP/device-licensed Company Portal, NOT the App Store version (which is incompatible with ADE and won't auto-update). Assign it Required with device licensing.
Step 1. Ensure a VPP/location token is already uploaded (Tenant administration > Connectors and tokens > Apple VPP tokens).

Step 2. Go to Apps > All Apps > Create and pick the VPP/volume-purchase Company Portal app.

Step 3. Open the app > Properties > Assignments.

Step 4. Under 'Required' add the target device group and set License type = Device licensing.

Step 5. In the VPP/location token settings set 'Automatic app updates' = Yes so Company Portal self-updates.

Step 6. Do NOT add the App Store Company Portal to ADE groups, and do not manually push its app-config to Setup-Assistant modern-auth devices.
