InstallProfile command via MDM

I can request information about the device, get a list of profiles installed on the device, etc., but I can’t install the profile on the device.

I set up a restriction profile. When I host it on my server and download it through Safari, it installs. But when I encode it as base64 (according to MDM requirements) and try to install it, I get the following error.

DM: Attempting to perform MDM request: InstallProfile Oct 10 10:25:32 iPhone-4 mdmd[516] <Notice>: (Error) MC: Failed to parse profile data. Error: NSError: Desc : Invalid Profile US Desc: Invalid Profile Domain : MCProfileErrorDomain Code : 1000 Type : MCFatalError Oct 10 10:25:32 iPhone-4 mdmd[516] <Notice>: (Error) MDM: Command Status: Error Error: NSError: Desc : Invalid Profile US Desc: Invalid Profile Domain : MCProfileErrorDomain Code : 1000 Type : MCFatalError

Below are the encoded data of the Base64 profile that I am trying to install. I created the data below based on the suggestions here and here

I have included setting the profile in the MDM payload. Please help me deal with the problem.

The problem is resolved. Just because of annoyance, I removed the extra spaces between the XML .mobileConfig tags. See below...

Modified

 <dict> <key>PayloadContent</key> <array> <dict> <key>PayloadDescription</key> <string></string> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>Restrictions</string> .......... </dict>

before

 <dict><key>PayloadContent</key><array><dict><key>PayloadDescription</key><string></string><key>PayloadDisplayName</key><string>Restrictions</string>..........</dict>

I used this site to encode it in base64. (for testing only)

For future viewers, you need to start with the <dict>

You are missing the XML declaration and doctype plist. Add the following two lines to the beginning of the profile (before base64 encoding):

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
