How to use kiosk mode along with web clips?Solved

Hello @abbi,

You can check out this: https://www.hexnode.com/forums/topic/multi-app-kiosk-webclip/

Maybe you can blocklist all the applications other than the required ones, that way you get to keep the Web clips along with the required applications.

Multi app kiosk and WebClip

Hello @Kipp,

That post did catch my eye, but the problem is that blocklisting is a huge task, as there are a large number of applications available, and we can’t keep track of all of them. We are basically looking for a way to allowlist web clips using Hexnode.

Hello @abbi,

I’m sorry, but Apple currently does not support adding web clips in kiosk mode. However, I can suggest a workaround where you can deploy web clips along with the allowlisted applications. This can be achieved with the help of the “allowListedAppBundleIDs” payload. When the “allowListedAppBundleIDs” payload is used in a configuration profile with the bundle identifier “com.apple.webapp”, it allows all web clips to be added to the iOS device.

Here is a sample configuration profile:

The above configuration profile allows the ‘Safari (com.apple.mobilesafari)’ and ‘Calendar (com.apple.mobilecal)’ applications, in addition to the default allowlisted applications ‘Phone’ and ‘Settings’. You can customize the list of applications that need to be allowlisted on the device by using their bundle IDs and adding them to the list. When you deploy this configuration profile along with a Web Clips policy, the web clips will be added to the device along with the allowlisted applications. Users can access the web clips and the applications specifically allowlisted in the configuration profile. You can deploy this custom configuration profile using Hexnode’s Deploy Custom Configuration feature.

If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,
