Is it possible to put an iPad in Single App Mode with the native Photos app? My Admissions department would like to have their iPad in Single App Mode (Photos) during school hours. I can see all the Apps that are installed on the JSS, but I don't see any native Apple Apps listed.

You should be able to just add the Photos app into your App catalog and then see it as an option.

Or maybe use iPhoto instead.

I just asked the same question but about Safari:

I can't add Safari (or Photos) to the App catalog since it is not available from the App Store and it is not an in-house app. It seems we need the bundle ID to do it. Any ideas?

Hey all, you should just need to add an "In House App" to your App Catalog in the JSS for use with Casper Focus or use the following bundle identifiers with a configuration profile! Just don't scope the app to anything and you will be good to go.

Sorry about that. I was being a little over zealous with my file cleanup. Image should be working again!
