1. Create a new iOS module which loads the dictionary (key-value) from MDM server
2. Use this module in your app code (Ex: Appcelerator)
// The Managed app configuration dictionary pushed down from an MDM server are stored in this key.
"com.apple.configuration.managed";
1. Create the iOS module

2.
Import this module in the app (Ex: Appcelerator code below)
var config_props = require('com.example.mobile.ios');
var serverEndpoint = config_props.getProperty("server.endpoint”);
