Restrictions (iOS)

com.apple.applicationaccess

The payload that configures restrictions on a device.

iOS
iOS 4.0+combined
97 of 217 settings are available in the Intune Settings Catalog. Remaining settings require a custom .mobileconfig profile.

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.
