Does anyone know how to hide the Shortcuts app on iOS so it doesn't show up on the Home screen? I've figured out how to hide the other apps I don't want visible, but can't figure out how to hide this one. I've got a Restrictions Configuration Profile set up, and I've hidden other apps in the iOS and tvOS > Applications section. I've added the Shortcuts app there. The only thing slightly odd about Shortcuts is that in the config profile the Bundle ID is is.workflow.my.app. I'm wondering if maybe the Bundle ID changed at some point to a com.apple domain. Anyone found a way to hide this app?

Just type in "com.apple.shortcuts" then click save to the right. It will save the bundle ID without a name, but it works.

Try com.apple.shortcuts

@mmcallister I thought about that, but it doesn't look like the Jamf Pro interface allows you to edit the Bundle ID. It auto-populates it when you search for the app. Unless there's a way to do it that I'm not seeing.

@john.sherrod Disregard my earlier post. @TheWarmAtlantic is correct. I had no idea you could do that. Thanks for the tip!

How are you all hiding specific apps? I used to just put which apps I wanted to see and the rest were hidden. That is not the case anymore. Did Jamf change how this was done?

When I add com.apple.shortcuts to the name field Jamf Pro throws and error which states "Field is required." See my screenshot attached...
Did something change here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you have the bundle ID in the App Name field.
