App control on iOS MDM devices

Kaspersky Security Center allows you to manage apps on iOS MDM devices to keep these devices secure. You can create a list of apps allowed to be installed on devices and a list of apps prohibited from being displayed and launching on devices.

These restrictions apply only to supervised iOS MDM devices.

Open Restrictions for applications section

To open settings for app restrictions on iOS MDM devices:

  1. In the console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group to which the iOS MDM devices belong.
  2. In the workspace of the group, select the Policies tab.
  3. Open the policy properties window by double-clicking.
  4. In the policy Properties window, select the Restrictions for applications section.

Restrict app installation

By default, the user can install any apps on the supervised iOS MDM device.

To restrict the apps that can be installed on the device:

  1. Select the Allow installation of apps from the list (supervised only) check box.
  2. In the table, click Add to add an app to the list.
  3. Specify the app's bundle ID. To get the app's bundle ID, you can follow instructions in Apple documentation. Specify the com.apple.webapp value to allow all web clips.
  4. Click the Apply button to save the changes you have made.

Once the policy is applied to a device, the specified restrictions for apps are configured on the device. Only apps from the list and system apps will be available for installation. All other apps can't be installed on the device.

The specified apps can be installed on the device in the following ways (if the corresponding options are enabled in the Features restrictions section):

Specify prohibited apps

By default, all apps can be displayed and launched on the supervised iOS MDM device.

To specify prohibited apps:

  1. Select the Prohibit displaying and launching apps from the list (supervised only) check box.
  2. In the table, click Add to add an app to the list.
  3. Specify the app's bundle ID. To get the app's bundle ID, you can follow instructions in Apple documentation. Specify the com.apple.webapp value to restrict all web clips.
  4. Click the Apply button to save the changes you have made.

Once the policy is applied to a device, the specified restrictions for apps are configured on the device. Apps from the list will be prohibited from being displayed and launching on the device. All other apps will be displayed and available to run.
