    iOS - remove Phone and Settings icon from homescreen

    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!

    iOS XML Layout Restriction

    I've created an XML layout file to structure a container with apps a certain way. I've identified that the XML conflicts with the Allow App Removal feature within Feature Control. I cannot find documentation to overwrite this restriction/impact within the XML file; this affects apps that are mandatory and suggested from DEP. Has anyone come across this issue? Is there a key value that I can use? I've attempted to set <key>allowAppRemoval</key> as true into the XML, but this didn't work.
