We are observing few issues when allow / block list of apps restriction is pushed to iOS 14.5 & iOS 15 devices. Below are the list of issues:
-
System apps are not accessible from Device Layout when a specific non-system app bundle id is added to allowed list. This behaviour is seen both on iOS 14.x & 15. For example calendar, notes, email apps are missing but apps like feedback assistant, whether widgets are seen.
-
When any app is added to blocked app list, all system apps are missing in layout iOS15 but are accessible from App Library. Where as on iOS 14.5 system apps are displayed on Device Layout & App Library even when a particular non-system app is added to blocked app list.
-
On device retirement from MDM, all the apps are not reappearing on the Device layout if allowed / blocked app list was earlier distributed. Only upon uninstall of another app all the apps reappear.
-
When Allowed & Blocked apps list restrictions are sent to device only Web Clip apps are present on Device Layout.
Please direct to the right documentation which can confirm the right behaviour of these restrictions on the device.
