Re: Allowing Users to Remove/Uninstall Available iOS Apps
Hi Moe_Kinani The issue here is the apps in question have always been set as Available and not Required. As with our Android apps/devices, Uses cannot uninstall Required apps, but can uninstall apps they have installed themselves from the Managed Play Store. I want our iOS users to have the same experience. So all Required apps are only removable from the MEMAC console (as expected) and apps that are available to them via the Company Portal for enrolled devices, the users are able to install and uninstall them whenever they choose to do so.Re: Intune Android & iOS enrollment - need some guidance
Hi WarreVlieghe , I have just (95%) completed a rollout of Corp Android devices (COFM) and iOS Supervised Devcies. We also have enabled staff to enroll their personal devices in order to install M365 apps (only the ones we can cover with App Protection Policies) on them. This has been very successful. The most important parts are. 1. Enrollment Restrictions - Block users from enrolling Personal devices. 2. Comms and documentation showing them how to do it. Obviously you have the policies to sort, but once in place your users will be able to Register their devices to use the apps you make available to them. In both the 'Droid and iOS steps, the users will HAVE to Postpone enrollement. But when they do this, the apps you make available will be shown in the company portal. For Android they need to install the Company Portal app. This acts as a Broker app and for iOS devices, they will have to install MS Authenticator & Company Portal, but there is no need to even open the Authenticator app as it will be their broker app. Hope that helps.Allowing Users to Remove/Uninstall Available iOS Apps
Hi All, Quick query. I have been creating a Fully Managed/ Supervised iOS build. Quite successfully, much smoother build than prior to iOS 14.x. But there is one thing I am trying to do but not even sure it is possible as yet. I have most of the M365 Apps as Required for the iOS devices. and there are a number of Available apps on offer too. The one thing that is totally different (or appears to be ) is that if an Android user installs an app available from the Corporate Android Play Store, they can uninstall it if they find they no longer require it, or for any other other reason. However, on iOS devices if a user installs an app from the Company Portal (VPP) then once it is installed there is no 'local' option to Uninstall or Remove it. In the image, Fig 1 is a personal registered iPhone 7 as you can see the BBC News app, when long pressed gives you the option to Remove App. Where in Fig 2 is a Corporate Managed/Supervised iPhone 7, the option Remove App is not available. I have gone through the Restriction and Features Configuration Profiles and enabled or disabled the obvious; but no joy. Obviously I can create uninstall groups for each app and then add users to these groups when they need something uninstalled, but that is a major overhead and I have not included that in the cost model going forward. Any ideas?Corporate-Owned Dedicated Devices ~Android Kiosk Devices
Hi All, Following an Android System update on a number of Samsung J6's and an update to the Managed Home Screen app. I am experiencing some "odd" results. The appearance of shortcut icons at the bottom of the screen. After another update, these disappeared, but now another icon has appeared. During the build process, towards the end, one usually gets a pop-up to request granting the Managed Home Screen app to appear on-top. tapping a sliding radio button to grant these permissions. After the Managed Home Screen update, these permissions are triggered after tapping on a Managed Setting icon on the Home Screen. This has a red dot next to it until you tap it and grant the permissions. Unfortunately it leaves the icon behind. Initially I thought it was down to the Android update as stated earlier, but 3 Android 8.0.0 devices are now displaying the icon. Has anyone else come across this, and found a solution. CheersRe: Managed Home Screen settings for Multi-Mode Kiosk Android Enterprise
Hi andrewbk I received an update from MS informing that the issue has now been resolved! So, I restarted one of my devices and after the first reboot, the Power UI did appear..ONCE. And never again thereafter! I have replied back saying that it does not work. On a slightly related issue. Quick question, although this may just affect Kiosk devices. One of my Samsung J6's has just done a fairly lengthy system update. This has changed the Home Screen appearance, as far as adding shortcut icons to the bottom of the screen! I am about to rebuild it as a Fully Managed device to see if the same issuette appears there too. Both devices are on Android 9.0, built by KME method, System apps disabled. *****************UPDATE******************** I have rebuilt the same updated device as a Fully-Managed device and the 3 standard/default icons, Phone - Contacts - Messaging appear. So, it appears this is only affecting Kiosk devices. The icons are not active, apart from the Settings and Apps icon. Hopefully, I can hide this using a policy or config .......Re: Managed Home Screen settings for Multi-Mode Kiosk Android Enterprise
Hi snarkshark That definitely looks like the issue. I pointed that out to MS but the call is now nearly 4 weeks old. They have updated the Managed Home Screen app, but it is still has a non-configured LOCK_TASK_FEATURE_GLOBAL_ACTIONS. If they actually set that in the app to true, I think the power button UI should be able to appear on top of the Managed Home Screen. Thansk for the pointers SnarkShark.Re: Managed Home Screen settings for Multi-Mode Kiosk Android Enterprise
Hi All, With our older Android devices upgrading to Android 9.0 and new devices being delivered with the same. i have noticed that the power button no longer offers Power Off/on and Restart options. I cannot tell if it is just the notification pop-up that is blocked or the functionality is blocked at source. The only way, so far, to power off or restart the device; is to exit Kiosk Mode first. Has anyone found a way around this; preferably from the Intune console. CheersRe: Managed Home Screen settings for Multi-Mode Kiosk Android Enterprise
Hi All, You can configure the Managed Home Screen from the Intune console. Go to Client Apps->App Configuration Policies-> Add a new policy, Use the Configuration Designer of JSON scripting and you will see all the available options as shown in the attachment. Some really useful settings here. After saving the policy. Assign it to the same dynamic group that the devices are added to automatically when you first created the Kiosk Enrolment Profile. Use this same method for all your apps. Not all apps will offer the same level of control/configuration; but many do. Chrome is a good example. Locking down options is very easy using the Configuration Designer. You can then export the JSON script. Hope that helps.
