Web clips in Apple Devices

Satish Shetty Updated by Satish Shetty

Use Codeproof MDM to create web clips (web shortcuts) in the iOS devices home screen. Creating web clips is extremely easy using Codeproof Cloud Console.

Steps:

  1. Login to Codeproof console here . If you don't have a Codeproof account, Please signup here .
  2. Go to Policy Manager from top menu.
  3. Select a group of iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) and on right side select "iOS Security" tab and then select "Webclips" tab. See bellow.
  4. Enter the web clips name, url and icon file. Additionally, customize optional web clips properties such as "Full screen mode" and "IsRemovable". If you would like to launch the web clips other than Safari Web Browser then enter the "Target Application Bundle Identifier". NOTE: The "Full screen mode" is only available in the Safari web browser.

Customizing Icon

Upload a PNG image file to customize the web clip icon. The icon image has to be certain size otherwise web clips won't be created and the following error will be logged in the MDM log - "The profile “Web Clips Profile” could not be installed."

For Retina display: Web clip icons must be 144 x 144 pixels for iPad devices and 114 x 114 pixels for iPhone devices.

Without Retina display: Web clip icon size can go up to 400 x 400 pixels and less than 1MB in the file size.
