Client Platform Engineers, device administrators, and others charged with managing large fleets of devices need to be able to wield open-source tools, conform them to their unique use cases, and get them on devices securely. This has traditionally been done with other languages, some of which have evolved since the early days of Unix – the early days of the very idea of an operating system. But the increasingly closed nature of Apple devices means that these skills need to move to Swift, and all the good and bad that comes with that.
This book is about how to build Swift applications that automate tasks on Apple devices. Things like pulling information down from a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution to configure settings, deliver apps to devices, and gain telemetry into areas of the system that might not otherwise be available to legacy scripting tools that can’t get entitlements to manage various aspects of systems. Traditional Swift books don’t cover these scripty automation tasks, or how to build software that can’t go on the App Store. Yet that’s exactly what admins need to do. We want to make the world a more secure place, and this is one of the ways we get there.
What You'll Learn
- How to wield Swift for secure device automation tasks.
- How to convert your code into compiled scripts.
- How to build functional programs for device inventory.
- How to integrate with enterprise systems for seamless operation.
- How to master Mobile Device Management (MDM) with Swift.
Who This Book Is For
This book is for client platform engineers, device administrators, and anyone managing large fleets of Apple devices.

About the Author
Charles Edge was the CTO of bootstrappers.mn and the CTO/COO of secretchest.io - and a former director at Jamf, where he led the development of Jamf Now. He held 35 years of experience as a developer, administrator, architect, product manager, entrepreneur, and CTO. He authored 25 books and more than 6,000 blog posts on technology, and served as an editor and author for a number of publications. Charles served on the board of directors for a number of companies and non-profits, and frequently spoke at conferences including DefCon, BlackHat, LinuxWorld, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, and a number of Apple-focused conferences. Charles also authored krypted.com and was a cofounder/host of the MacAdmins Podcast and The History Of Computing podcast. He passed away in April of 2024, and his extensive network of people felt the loss very deeply.
Jeremy Bannister is a Swift developer from New York who now lives in Spain. He connected with Charles Edge in December of 2021 and began working for Charles to prototype a password management tool with a focus on resisting quantum-computing decryption attacks. They worked together until Charles' unexpected passing in April 2024. Jeremy is happy to have helped proofread Charles' manuscript and helped to allow his final book to be published.
Joel Rennich is the SVP of Product at JumpCloud residing in the greater Minneapolis, MN area. While Joel has spent most of his professional career focused on Apple products, at JumpCloud he works with a team focused on boldly going where no devs have gone before across all platforms. In 2018 Jamf acquired Joel's startup, Orchard & Grove, which is where Joel developed the widely-used open source software NoMAD. Over the years Joel has been a frequent speaker at a number of conferences including WWDC, MacSysAdmin, MacADUK, Penn State MacAdmins Conference, Objective by the Sea, FIDO Authenticate and others in addition to user groups everywhere. Joel spent over a decade working at Apple in Enterprise Sales and started the website afp548.com which was the mainstay of Apple system administrator education during the early years of macOS X.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;

for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
