title: Apple iOS - "App Lock" Configuration Profile Setting (aka "kiosk mode") only works with apps installed through apple configurator
body: <p>Background:</p>
  
  <p>Apple provides a "kiosk mode" for their iPads as part of iOS6 which locks the device into one application (even boots directly into the app too).</p>
  
  <p>In order to use this, the device first has to be setup as a "Supervised" device using Apple Configurator. You then add a special entry to a configuration profile that includes your application's bundle ID. </p>
  
  <p>This works great if you utilize Apple Configurator to add the new profile AND application you want to use as the kiosk app.</p>
  
  <p>However, if you don't use Apple Configurator to add the profile and application (aka you use Xcode or MDM), an error will appear on the iPad:</p>
  
  <p><strong>"Guided Access app unavailable. Please contact your administrator"</strong></p>
  
  <p>It appears that it won't recognize the application unless it was specifically loaded through Configurator, which is a problem if you want the application (and device) to be managed by an MDM provider.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone been able to use the "App Lock" setting with an application installed/managed by MDM?</p>
