I have a web app (a company dashboard) that I want to disable Lockdown Mode for. I have added the URL in Settings>Websites>Lockdown Mode. That works.
Yet if I create a Safari web applet by File>Save to Dock… that applet runs with the site opened in Lockdown Mode. How do I "fix" this?
Hello roenass,
We have a great support article that might help with this. Please take a look at it here: About Lockdown Mode - Apple Support. The instructions in the "How to exclude apps or websites from Lockdown Mode" should help with this issue.
If the issue persists, further assistance may be needed. We want to make sure you reach the right team for help with your Lockdown Mode issues, so we recommend that you contact Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: Get Support - Apple.
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities and have a wonderful day.
I have the same problem.
Example: office.outlook.com runs perfectly fine in Safari - I have set office.outlook.com to have no blockers, and lockdown mode is off - this was done using "settings for office.outlook.com" from the Safari menu. However when it is run as a Web App, it is missing many visual elements, such as icons and it becomes unusable.
The Web App was created using "Add to Dock".
I have confirmed that office.outlook.com is excluded from blockers and lockdown in Safari/Settings/Websites.
It appears that Safari Web Apps are not honouring the Website settings for blockers and lockdown.
I have attached an image of the outlook toolbar below, so you can see how useless Outlook is when running as a web app.
That article isn't helpful. As I described, I followed the procedure in that article to exclude the site in question.
And as I described, that works. In Safari. But if I "Save to Dock…" the site, the ensuing web applet runs in lock down.
The question remains: how do I exclude a site in a Safari web app from Lockdown Mode?
