This means that you would only want to use a mass enrollment option with Bushel if you are not using email, if all of your users will have the same generic email address or if your users will enter their own email information.

If you then take the username and add a + at the end, you can then type some characters and put it all in front of the @ and domain name then the mail will still come to me. So, let’s say I use it to create an AppleID for an APNS certificate. That might be +apps added to bushel@bushel.com: bushel+apps@bushel.com Read More About…

One of the most useful things when it comes to troubleshooting just about anything on an iOS device (or any computer for that matter) is logs.
