Disable on Screen Keyboard in Lockdown-Mode

We are currently using Zebra MC93 in Lockdown Mode with Zebra Enterprisebrowser.
As the Zebra MC93 have a Hardware Keyboard we don't need the onscreen Keyboard and would like to disable it.
The integrated Gboard has the option to disable but this doesn't stay disabled after a Reboot or Battery change.

Is there any way to disable it from SOTI side?
I already tried this script i found in a different Forum-Post but it didn't help...

As I do not have any Zebra MC93 hardware, I can't  do any tests on the following.  You can try either :

1. uninstall/disable the gboard app via Settings Manager on Device's Settings

2. have the bundle-ID of gboard included in a deployed application-run-control blacklist

Hello Raymond,

thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately Gboard can't be uninstalled or disabled as it's the only Keyboard app.
Can you tell me how to create such a blacklist?

I'm rather new to SOTI so I'm not really familiar with all the things it can do.

Kind Regards
Max

The simplest to add an app blacklist is with an Android Application-Run-Control profile.  See following screenshots for MobiControl v15+ and v14- respectively:

Hello Raymond,



thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately when using this option the hardwarekeyboard also stops working which is not the solution we need.

We will try to find a different option.

Thanks for now.

Kind Regards
