iOS/iPadOS Copy, Paste exempt possible?

Hi everyone,

 

I'm currently struggling with the App Protection Policies in Intune for iOS devices. There are a few requests regarding the app usage in our company. One of them would be, for example, that you should be able to copy content from Teams and use it in the native Safari browser.

 

The Teams app is protected with a policy, the setting: Restrict cut, copy, and paste between other apps is set to Policy managed apps with paste in. So I put the Safari app in the Send org data to other apps in the “Select apps to exempt”. But nothing came up.

 

After some research I found the section: "The exempt unmanaged app must be invoked based on iOS URL protocol. For example, when data transfer exemption is added for an unmanaged app, it would still prevent users from cut, copy, and paste operations, if restricted by policy." It´s restricted for now. So it´s saying there's not really a way to make copying and pasting possible except to open this policy setting completely?

 

The Safari app cannot be managed via SDK. How do you solve this or is there a better way rather than open the policy?

    Hi, 

    Safari is a managed app, so you can select it when you create the policy. So, you will target the policy to both Teams as a public apps and safari as a custom apps. use the Bundle ID to select safari: com.apple.mobilesafari

     

    Hope this will help and let me know when it's done.

    Good luck
