Hi.

It's possible to suppress iOS-Apps (e.g. the stock-app) under "Devices | Configuration Profiles | Restrictions | iOS and tvOS | Applications".

There is a list of apps and the bundle-identifiers on the page https://github.com/joeblau/apple-bundle-identifiers .

The restriction works for several apps (like Stock), but it doesn't work for
1. Find My (iOS 13) | com.apple.findmy
2. Settings | com.apple.Preferences

Do you know how to block those apps on supervised devices?

Thx in advance,
Roland

Restricting com.apple.findmy should work fine. It works for me.
You can't restrict the Settings app.

Thank you for your advice.

com.apple.findmy works, in combination with settings it doesn't work. The deployment of the restriction fails, when the settings app is in the list.

It seems like the deployment fails, when I try to suppress the settings apps, though it's possible to deploy the suppression of fantasy apps like com.apple.nexistepas . Weird!
