Single app mode in my iOS application

Question

I want to implement Single app mode in my iOS application through coding. For this I am doing the following steps:

1. I am supervising my device through apple configurator and using config profile generated by configurator itself.

2. I have selected the restriction payload to generate my profile because I want single app mode functionality.

3. According to apple documentation one key is added in Restriction payload that is “autonomousSingleAppModePermittedAppIDs” in iOS and later. But I am not able to find it anywhere to fill my bundle identifier. I have tried to add this key manually by editing the profile in text edit but this process invalidates my profile.

Here is the link reference: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010206-CH1-SW13

Under the Restrictions Payload section of the documentation.

4. I have tried to generate my profile with the help of iPCU (iPhone Configuration Utility) as well but did not find anything.

So please help me out what I am missing here or what else I need to do.

Thanks Harish

This key is available in the configuration profile settings of MDM solutions such as Meraki.

You will also need to distribute the configuration profile through MDM in order for Single App Mode to work on the device.
