Issue Description

Web clips are essentially shortcuts to URLs. Files and websites are often the target URLs.

SOTI MobiControl stores web clips on the device, and web clips point directly to the source, for example, a PDF hosted on a company website. A web clip would point to the source address.

When users attempt to add the WebClips configuration to the iOS Application Run Control profile, they often use the bundle ID "com.apple.webclip" for WebClips.

In the below screenshot. the final entry, "com.apple.webclip", is intended to whitelist the WebClip profiles deployed to their group. However, it appears that this functionality is not working as expected.

Environment

All SOTI MobiControl versions and the iOS device versions supported by SOTI MobiControl for their enrollment.

Issue Resolution

Use the webapps bundle ID "com.apple.webapps"  instead of "com.apple.webclip" in this situation.
