Restrictions (iOS)
com.apple.applicationaccess
The payload that configures restrictions on a device.
DDM recommended — 97 of 217 settings support Declarative Device Management
Apple recommends DDM over legacy profiles. DDM declarations are autonomous — the device enforces them without server round-trips. In Intune, use Settings Catalog → Declarative Device Management to configure these settings.
