With the depreciation of the “app usage” payload, where do we go in blueprints to hide/remove default apps (phone, calc, books, etc)? Been digging through and can’t seem to find a like for like.

Were these devices on v27?  It looks like it needs that or more.

I haven’t tested this but it looks like it would be here with the App Settings Blueprint:

I thought this as well, but when I deployed it to a test iPad using bundle IDs for Apple built in apps (from https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/bundle-ids-for-iphone-and-ipad-apple-apps-depece748c41/web), there was no effect. The apps were still shown and opened just fine.

I’m glad you tested it out.  Haven’t got there yet.  Glad to know it worked.  😊

Thanks for testing and posting this.. I was just starting to look at this myself and thought, I wonder if anyone else has had issues yet with apps on 27 when I saw the same deprecation.

Ah, that makes sense. Encountered the same issue before.
