API Endpoint: Release Device from Await Configuration

To release a device from the “Await Final Configuration” state, Apple provides a specific API endpoint that allows administrators to transition the device to a fully operational state. This process involves sending a command to the device to finalize its configuration.

Apple’s Device Management API includes the Release Device from Await Configuration endpoint, which is crucial for managing devices in this state. Here’s a high-level overview of how it works:

1. Endpoint URL: The specific API endpoint to release a device is:

<https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/release_device_from_await_configuration>

2. HTTP Method: The request method used is POST.

3. Parameters:

• device_id: The unique identifier of the device to be released.

• authorization_token: A valid token to authenticate the request.

4. Response:

• A successful response indicates that the device has been released from the “Await Final Configuration” state and is now fully operational.
