Hello SOTI team, I would like to stage an iPhone to only display a webclip on the device The problem is by using application restrictions (White List) it removes all but the settings and phone icon. My goal is to find a way to remove those icons from the phone by using SOTI. I tried creating a blacklist to specify com.apple.Preferences and com.apple.mobilephone but it will fail to install. Will I need to use an XML script to accomplish this? If so could some one help point me in the right direction for what options or ideas they have? Single App mode is not an option because I would like to add more webclips later. 07/30-Thanks Kindly for suggestions but Single App mode is not an option as the root goal would be to lockdown the phones similar to Android. I realize this may not be possible but my ideal situation would be to create a homescreen without the Phone and Settings icons. I think my only best solution is to drop those two icons in a folder on page 2. I believe we are facing limitations of what iOS 17 can do. I hope with iOS18 we will be able to hide those two icons and prevent user from being able to swipe right or left on homescreen. I did experiment with Custom Profiles but if you try to blacklist the Preferences and MobilePhone bundles using XML it will fail also. The official Apple documentaton does specify that you cant do that for those two Bundles so I think this may be out of SOTIs control. Thanks again!

Good Morning, I was wondering what the best way to get the following policy to work with SOTI and our devices. The policy's goal is to restrict Chrome and whitelist one of our companies approved sites. Below is a current example: {"applications": [{"packageName": "com.android.chrome","installType": "FORCE_INSTALLED","managed_configuration": {"URLBlacklist": ["*"],"URLWhitelist": ["test.webapps.jacam.com"]},"lockTaskAllowed": true,"defaultPermissionPolicy": "GRANT"}],"persistentPreferredActivities": [{"receiverActivity": "com.android.chrome","actions": ["android.intent.action.MAIN"],"categories": ["android.intent.category.HOME","android.intent.category.DEFAULT"]}],"statusBarDisabled": true}
Hi everyone,we work with MobiControl and Samsung devices, in Android Enterprise mode - full device magnament, with corporate catalogs in PlayStore. We have GalaxyApps app disabled so that no user can download inappropriate content such as games, unnecessary themes, etc. However, we need GalaxyApps for updating some Samsung system applications (which are not in the PlayStore), such as Samsung Calendar, Video library, maintenance app ... How can we do it? Thanks. Greetings
In MobiControl (Version 15.2.0) I wanted to change the Application Run Control (Android Enterprise) in an existing Profile. Adding a blacklist works fine, but not deselecting. This has no effect on the device (Zebra TC57), even after a reboot. How can I achieve that an application is not on a blacklist at the device anymore? Doing a factory reset is not an option (but works).

Hello, I have around 250 Honeywell CT60 units. When adding com.android.settings to blacklist, the unit will not start up again after I turn it off. It is stuck on Honeywell start/boot screen, and I have to Factory Reset the unit to get it on again. I blaclist many other apps, but it only crashes when I add settings to blacklist. My mission is to prevent the user of the unit to access settings on the device. I used this controll earlier, but after i updated Soti to the latest version, the CT60 crash. So its working on the unit, but not on the version of Soti im running I guess Any idea what to do? Tried on Android 7.1.1 and 9. same result. Soti MobiControl 15.1.0.3413
several of our employees have figured out a loophole in our Kiosk. We are trying to have them use Soti Surf as their browser. The loophole is when they go into adobe and select print - they can click on all services and it will open up a google chrome browser window. we have blacklisted com.android.chrome and have also tried the disable script. So far we have not found a solution. i found this solution https://discussions.soti.net/thread/how-to-fully-blacklist-a-browser/ i have tried the manualblacklist and no avail. our devices are ATT and Verizon Tab A's Model: SMT387 android 9 enrolled with android + can anyone provide further advice? if needed i will open a ticket.
Dear all, since we tested Android 9 blacklisting of Google Chrome and the Phone App is not working anymore. Is there any option to blacklist these apps? Thank you in advance for help, Kindly, Sebastian

Good afternoon everyone, We have run into a pickle here where we have some phone get locked out through the Samsung Knox Workspace app that is "Build-in" for the Samsung Galaxy S7's. The only way to fix the issue is to wipe the phones through Mobicontrol and start over. I have tried removing the permissions from the App from being able to "Appear on Top" and "Can change system settings". I would rather be able to blacklist this app completely if possible. Has anyone had any experience with this occurring on their Samsung devices? We are using Version: 14.2.2.1170 for MobiControl and the Galaxy S7's are using the latest security patch form March 1, 2019.
