A brief note: while not an officially documented requirement from Apple, there have been reports that devices that are upgraded up to iOS version 26 require a factory reset once upgraded to iOS 26 before the migration process through ABM will work properly. If your device seems to meet all prerequisites, but does not have a deadline option to set when assigning device management, a factory reset could be required.
