[ipad] Using Apple Configurator to lock down iPAD and only install Google Chrome

[kennysarmy]

You would think that would be easy....!

 

Where am I going wrong?

 

I cannot even see Google Chrome on the VPP app store when I log in with our VPP account?

 

I am running apple configurator from a mac mini.

 

I can see how to lock the iPAD's down by creating a profile - but cannot see how I push/install the google chrome app to the iPADS

 

Can anyone help?

Instead of Apple Configurator, see what you think about Meraki.

I could never get meraki to work through the SWGfL

Ah, that old Chestnut. Are you not supplied with a completely unfiltered proxy from SWGFL? I think you might have to request it but I know it can be done.

 

Admitedly we never had this issue as the iPads turned up at the same time we switched over to BT.
