Restrict AirDrop to Contacts Only

[nick_conway]

Looking for some insight on how to deploy a config profile that restricts AirDrop to Contacts Only. Any help is greatly appreciated!

That'd be great. But it isn't possible. File feedback to Apple. Maybe we'll see it some day.

This piqued my interest. I tracked down the plist setting and without extensive testing this appears to maybe have done the trick.

Has anyone able to get this to work? I'm pushing that plist with my device's UUID on 12.5 and it doesn't seem to do anything.
