Apple Configurator 2: App Installation hangs/loops during placeholder Transfer
I have been trying to set up a cart with Apple Configurator 2. I am running iOS 9.2, iPad Air 2's, and El Capitan. I attempted to set them up following the blue print instructions, but that as an abject failure as it resulted in 16 of the 20 iPads being bricked. So I have been setting them up as a group of 20, first installing a profile and now installing apps. I tried to en masse install my apps, but that resulted in looping and errors that have no definition. So now I'm installing apps in small groups of 3-5 apps. The problem I'm running into is sporadic looping/hanging when I install certain apps. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. When I attempt to install the application on its own, the problem persists. It hangs in the "installing placeholder" step. So far, this has happened with: Garage Band, Pic Collage, and Socrative Teacher Edition. To fix the issue, I have to "remove" the partially installed apps and then forgo installing the particular application. Even if I try to install the application on its own, the problem persists. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I'm banging my head against the wall here. I'm going on hour 25+ (not including overnights where i Hit a button, go home, and come back to some random error).
Thanks!
