Creating a json file for Managed Homescreen for Android Devices. Errors with Adding Multiple Apps on the Homescreen

Question

Hello Everyone,

Im trying to create a json Data file to enable multiple apps in Managed Homescreen for a Android Device. I have created a File which is working perfecty , just with adding additional Applications gives me issues.

So this file works without an issue, when i dont add a second application. This will display outlook. If want to add other applications tho, like word in this case, it will fail. So as soon i add it and save, when i reopen the policy, the entry goes missing again. When i create a new Policy and add the complete file with the entry , it will give me an error that the file is invalid. I dont seem to find the Error, when adding another application to be displayed. I really would be glad if i could find solution to this issue and thank you in advance.

This is the file, when i add a second application to be displayed

@Jayd, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, I find the format to add multiple apps are as below:

                    {

                        "key": "applications",

                        "valueBundleArray": [

                            {

                                "managedProperty": [

                                    {

                                        "key": "package",

                                        "valueString": "com.microsoft.emmx"

                                    }

                                ]

                            },

                            {

                                "managedProperty": [

                                    {

                                        "key": "package",

                                        "valueString": "com.microsoft.bing"

                                    }

                                ]

                            }

                        ]

                    }

Please change your Json file with the similar format to see if it can work.

Hope the above information can help.
