In my student restrictions Configuration profile, I have the "Some Apps Not Allowed" configured to not allow installation of the Pages app....all of a sudden I am getting failures on the Remove command that say this:
The app “com.apple.Pages” is not managed
How do I fix this issue?

iPads I assume? Are they new, out of the box devices?

Sorry. Yes, iPads. No, not new. And this 'failure' just started showing up within the last week or two. This particular screenshot is from a device that was enrolled on 2/28/2019

Also, if it helps, I am including
how I have the "Some Apps Not Allowed" set up in the Student Restrictions Configuration Profile

An App won't uninstall if its unmanaged - which is what you have when an iPad comes with pages, keynote, numbers, etc out of the box. Jamf can do a managed take-over of those apps but it won't both do a managed take-over and remove the app as far as I know. This would probably need to be a Jamf feature request.

@jdhainley Have you added these apps to your jss or are you just removing them using the bundle id?

@mainelysteve I am just using the bundle id to remove

@jdhainley Well then it's fairly trivial what you need to do. Get the app added to your catalog via VPP, ensure it's getting into a managed state then attempt the removal. I can't imagine the jss would be able to remove an app that it's only aware of by inventory records.
That's at least my observation on the matter.
