I am able to add the Apple clock app to self service, but because I cannot assign a license to it, it won’t download on the managed iPads.

I tried “buying” licenses from Apple School Manager, but I can’t get licenses for a system app.

I'm pretty sure those apps need to be assigned to an individual app store account or if not, wipe to restore the stock image.
