App Store

com.apple.appstore

The payload that configures macOS App Store restrictions.

macOS

macOS 10.9+exclusive

3 of 5 settings are available in the Intune Settings Catalog. Remaining settings require a custom .mobileconfig profile.

DDM recommended — 3 of 5 settings support Declarative Device Management

Apple recommends DDM over legacy profiles. DDM declarations are autonomous — the device enforces them without server round-trips. In Intune, use Settings Catalog → Declarative Device Management to configure these settings.
