    • A new tvOS profile to configure your Apple TV Home Screen allows you to select which application will be visible immediately for your users.
  • iOS profile: DNS proxy

  • iOS restrictions: allowSystemAppRemoval
    • A new iOS 11 restriction to allow or prevent your users to remove Apple system Applications.
