Shared iPad allows multiple students to share the same device while keeping their projects synced through iCloud. Here’s how to enable and configure this feature for Stop Motion Studio:

Prerequisites:

• Ensure that you are using Stop Motion Studio version 10.1 or later.
• Make sure iCloud is enabled on the iPads.

1. Configure MDM Settings:
   • Option: isStoreProjectsIniCloudEnabled
   • Description: Enables iCloud support for syncing projects across different devices.
   • Value: Set to YES or true to enable.
2. Steps to Configure Using MDM:
   • Access MDM Console: Log in to your MDM system’s administration console.
   • Locate App Configuration: Find the section where you can manage or configure app settings.
   • Add/Edit Configuration Profile: Add a new configuration profile or edit an existing one for Stop Motion Studio.
   • Set iCloud Support: Ensure that isStoreProjectsIniCloudEnabled is set to YES or true.
