If I remember correctly, it allows the end user to turn it on, and only then greys out the switch so it cannot be turned off.

Thanks, @jared_f, I think I remember reading that before. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks, @jared_f, there's some really useful information in there - wasn't aware of that AC2 defer updates bug. What I'm a little confused about is how you can create a profile just to enforce automatic date and time without the profile also applying all the other settings in the restrictions payload? Can you have a profile like this applied to a device AND a Meraki restrictions profile at the same time? And what if the two profiles clash, i.e. one says you can do something and one says you can't? Basically we were going to replace our existing Meraki-created restrictions profile with an AC2-created restrictions profile, but if we can just use the AC2 one to enforce date and time (and a couple of Apple Classroom related ones) and leave the Meraki one in place that would be much easier.

Thanks, @jared_f, worked a treat! Also gave us access to some Apple Classroom-related restrictions that some of our teachers were having problems with.

Hi @PeterJames, I'm afraid I'm not sure exactly what was changed - I suspect that the student moved the year into the future, although I'll have to check with our IT team for the exact details. We have now tested the process suggested by @jared_f of creating the restrictions Payload in Apple Configurator (including the "force automatic date and time") and applying it via Meraki ("upload custom Apple profile") and it works a treat - greys out the switch so they can't manually change it.

Just to be clear, this new restriction is not available through Meraki yet, only through Apple Configurator. I am using this thread (and the make a wish button) to try to bring it forward in the Meraki development plan! If other users also use the make a wish button, that might help too.

There is a new iOS restriction available through Apple Configurator: "Force automatic date and time (Supervised only)" This is needed because students have worked out that they can break their device's connection to Meraki (and therefore all their restrictions) by manually changing the date and/or time on their device. Please add this to the supervised restriction options in Meraki asap to prevent this!

Now I understand you, I think! You are referring to the Restrictions settings on each device (not via MDM) and setting the Location Services in there to "don't allow changes", so that end-users can't change the per-app settings for Location Services, right? The "Find My Friends" MDM restriction only greys out the overall Location Services switch, but the end user can still go in and change the per-app settings. In iOS 11 did that restriction default to "don't allow", then?

@Mike_YMCAMIDTN Did you try the suggestion in that thread of un-ticking "allow modifying Find My Friends settings" in the Restrictions payload? Greys out the Location Services switch so they can't turn it off. Works a treat!

Mike, I'm assuming you mean the restriction applied on the device rather than pushed through a profile via Meraki (as there is no "don't allow changes to location" option in iOS restrictions via Meraki, I think?). However we have found that unticking "Allow modifying Find My Friends settings" in Meraki has the same effect - it greys out the Location switch to prevent changes. Does this also get broken if the device is updated to iOS 12?

Can anyone confirm if updating iPads to iOS 12 continues to break Restrictions settings? I haven't tested this myself, but in a school setting having robust restrictions in place is essential.

Yes, I also noticed some apps updating on one of our iPads and I hadn't pushed any updates out myself. I just need to check that no one else was pushing them out though...

Yes, activating the web-content filter also prevents clearing the browser history or opening a private tab in Safari. We find it very useful in a school context!

"Keep app up to date" is still not working for us on iOS 12.0.1 Updating apps manually is becoming a real chore. JAMF can do it...

The "keep app up to date" feature is still not working for us. Has anyone else managed to set it up so that apps update automatically as soon as updates become available?

I don't quite understand - your suggestion still requires that someone manually sends the update command. What we are waiting for is apps (that have "keep app up to date" ticked) automatically updating without anyone having to manually send an update command.

OK, so this was all triggered by opening the Meraki MDM app on the device. No error message when checking for updates, as you can see, but no updates either:

No, I was wrong, this is not working for us. Although it is not clear to me what the schedule is or the trigger is for making the device check in for updates? Either way, no updates are coming through, although I am not sure if I am still getting the error message from before, as I cannot find a recent example in the event log.

It might just be my imagination, but I think this might now be working under iOS 11.4...

Any news on this feature and when it will start working as expected? Will make a big difference for us and will save us lots of time not having to manually push app updates!

Looks like you might be using the old version of the App Management page. Click the button at the top of the App Management page that says "Try the new version"...
