Description
There is a configuration file to set up apple devices for quite some time:
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/10068
but nothing is mentioned in the documentation (https://help.nextcloud.com/t/why-is-there-a-macos-ios-configuration-file-in-nextcloud/80914).
For the automatic setup, there are still some points open: https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/70
My question would be regarding 2FA, so you would have to login first via browser on your mobile to install the profile. Then this installs probably the links and then you would have to generate manually an app password? Can we streamline this a bit? And for the moment, we just document the linked file? On the other hand, just installing everything manually isn't that difficult if the .well-known redirections are set up correctly.

Research direction
Review the configuration file introduced by nextcloud/server#10068, the documentation page, and nextcloud/ios#70. Determine whether the profile and its manual setup, including the 2FA and app-password caveats raised here, can be documented clearly. Done means the supported setup path and any limitations are described in the documentation.
