I have done some initial testing using Apple's VPP on AOD.
Everything is setup, and works, however the devices that I've tested on have previously been setup with a restrictions Payload that removes both the Apple and iTunes stores. After the devices were setup with VPP, I noticed that both store apps were visable again, despite the Restrictions Payload being tampered with.
So my question is this: Am I not able to remove the Apple Store and iTunes Store apps when utilizing VPP?
