Hello, I need to configure a device with single app mode, but when I enable this option screen keeps all black.
So, if I add one item to my Home screen like this:
I get this on my homescreen:
And if I click in the icon, it opens like this:
And everything is OK. But if I configure it like this:
My device only shows this:
The "Single app mode" option is meant for well-defined apps (i.e. "launch:// item specified with its bundle-ID), and not the DEFAULT html renderer registered on particular hardware for showing https:// lockdown items. Though Webview is likely to be the normal default rendered on many device models, there can be multiple Webview-based binaries on the same device, depending on the actually firmware/app implementations individual device. It is thus not reasonable to expect MobiControl codes to be able to figure out the actual bundle-ID automatically during runtime.
So, explicitly specify the browser if single-app mode option is to be set. E.g. surf://https://www.abc.com.
I add one package with Soti Surf and use surf://https://www.abc.com with single app mode and with works.
Thanks.
Additional to Raymond's comment:
If you use managed Google playstore, you could also try following:
Create and assign a private web app (this will open the website inside of "chrome") and then assign their bundleid (can be seen when provided to the device in applications tab of the console) to kiosk mode.
Also possible but maybe not what you want: Use the browser you want in lockdown and put the website you want as startingpage.
