Getting Started
The Citrix MAM SDK provides a range of features allowing developers to work in familiar environments to build native apps. Once apps are built, developers can assume the role of an IT admin to quickly validate the management and distribution of their apps through the Citrix Endpoint Management.
The Citrix MAM SDK includes support for the following services:
- Core
- Compliance
- Containment
- Local Authentication
- Micro VPN
For more information about the SDK features, see the Third-party app policies for iOS.
