App Uninstallation Screen

This screen allows the system user to apply restrictions to the device that will prevent the mobile user from uninstalling specified apps.

NB App names are the names of the apps the mobile user sees E.g. Auto trader, whereas package names is the internal name of the app Android uses E.g. uk.co.autotrader.

There is a list on the left of the screen that contains all the apps currently on the device (All Apps). Apps can be added to the Blacklisted packages list on the right. Any apps in this list will prevent the mobile user from uninstalling the app from the device.

The list on the left has the usual check tick and the upper most check tick will select/deselect the entire list.

Below is the uninstallation screen.

Get All Apps

This allows the system user to retrieve all the apps currently installed on the device.

Add apps To Blacklist Once the system user has selected the apps to add to the blacklist, Add Apps To Blacklist button will add them to the blacklist on the device. The Blacklisted Packages list on the right will update to show the blacklisted packages.

Below are screenshots of how to add Auto trader to the blacklist.

Deselect the entire list on the left and select only Auto trader, then click Add Apps To blacklist button.

NB. Please note the blacklisted apps can be sent to the device straight away, sent to a group or added to a policy.
