Is there a trick to making the restricted apps payload not nuke users web clips?

Thanks!

Hi @bbelew & @smurphyusd346 ,

Try adding com.apple.webapp to your whitelist and see if that resolves the issue.
It will not auto-populate on the list, so you'll need to type in the whole thing as-is.

Once com.apple.webapp is whitelisted, it should stop removing web clips.

Yeah, it would be nice if even just MDM supplied web clips would stay on the device.

@ddcdennisb In the latest version of Casper and iOS 9.3 under restrictions > apps, you can set which apps you want to block on the devices or choose to just allow whitelisted apps.

That worked beautifully! Granted, all webclips are now viewable, but we will take it! Thanks for your insight!
