 the prompt is displayed by a first requesting application different from the first device management application; and   displaying the prompt includes concurrently displaying the prompt with at least a portion of the user interface of the first device management application.   
     
     
         5 . The computer system of  claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
 retrieving a set of product data associated with the external accessory;   after retrieving the set of product data, determining, at least partially based on the set of product data, whether the second device management application is available; and   wherein, in accordance with a determination that the second device management application is not available, the option to initiate the process to configure the external accessory for use with the second device management application is an option that includes initiating a process to download the second device management application.   
     
     
         6 . The computer system of  claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
 retrieving a set of product data associated with the external accessory;   after retrieving the set of product data, determining, at least partially based on the set of product data, whether the second device management application is available; and   wherein, in accordance with a determination that the second device management application is available, the option to initiate the process to configure the external accessory for use with the second device management application is an option that includes displaying a user interface of the second device management application.   
     
     
         7 . The computer system of  claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
 retrieving a set of product data associated with the external accessory;   after retrieving the set of product data, determining, at least partially based on the set of product data, one or more respective device management applications that are compatible to be configured for use with the external accessory; and   wherein display of the option, as part of the prompt, to initiate a process to configure the external accessory for use with the second device management application is based on the second device management application being determined as compatible to be configured for use with the external accessory; and   in accordance with a determination that an additional device management application is compatible to be configured for use with the external accessory, displaying, as part of the prompt, an option to initiate a process to configure the external accessory for use with the additional device management application; and   in accordance with a determination that an additional device management application is not compatible to be configured for use with the external accessory, forgoing displaying, as part of the prompt, an option to initiate a process to configure the external accessory for use with the additional device management application.   
     
     
         8 . The computer system of  claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
 subsequent to configuring the external accessory for use with the first device management application, identifying a code; and   after identifying the code, transmitting the code to the external accessory and a second code to the second device management application, wherein the second code is used in configuring the external accessory for use with the second device application.   
     
     
         9 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein initiating the process to configure the external accessory for use with the second device management application includes the first device management application transmitting at least a portion of a set of external accessory configuration data to the second device management application. 
     
     
         10 . The computer system of  claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
 prior to displaying the prompt, configuring the external accessory for use with the first device management application, including receiving user input of a name of the external accessory;   after receiving selection of the option to initiate a process to configure the external accessory for use with a second device management application, transmitting the name of the external accessory to the second device management application; and   while configuring the external accessory for use with the second device management application:
 in accordance with a determination that the name of the external accessory has been received from the first device management application, forgoing displaying an entry field for user entry of a name of the external accessory; and 
 in accordance with a determination that the name of the external accessory has not been received from the first device management application, displaying an entry field for user entry of a name of the external accessory. 
   
     
     
         11 .
