object NetworkUsageRules
```

## Discussion

Discussion Specify com.apple.networkusagerules as the payload type. Network usage rules allow enterprises to specify how devices use networks, such as cellular data networks. iOS 9-12 require the application rules. In iOS 13, application rules, SIM rules, or both must be present.
