We are working on a use case, where we have a device which contains an app. The app is taged as blacklisted. We need to know how to notify the owners that they have a blacklisted app and they have to remove it.
How to do that on android?
How to do it on iOS? We guess that this is supported in the new extender. When is that available?
Can we automate removal of blacklisted applications?

Hi Erik,
You can do this with a simple custom Fixlet… Attached is an example custom Fixlet to warn the user if they have DropBox installed for Android.
Here is the basics:
Relevance to detect an app:
Android:
exists installed applications whose (package of it as string as lowercase = “com.dropbox.android”)
iOS:
exists installed applications whose (identifier of it as string as lowercase = “com.getdropbox.dropbox”)
Action to warn the user (
more info on sending messages to users
):
Android:
Use the message option in the take action dialog (use the second “Run message while action is running” message). See attached Fixlet for an example.
iOS:
push message “Warning! The DropBox app is not allowed by company policy. Please remove!”
I think we will make it easier for you guys to do this in the future (so you don’t have to write the custom Fixlet yourself).
