Hello,

I've recently been attempting to implement restrictions related to delaying OS updates (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/restrictions). I have noticed something a bit strange, I've been able to implement forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates and enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay (they both pop up on the devices restriction list). However I have been unable to get forceDelayedMajorSoftwareUpdates, enforcedSoftwareUpdateMajorOSDeferredInstallDelay, and enforcedSoftwareUpdateMinorOSDeferredInstallDelay to show up in the restrictions list. The last one is particularly strange as it should also control the amount of time forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates delays minor updates (should show up in the same way as enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay detailing how many days a an update has been delayed by). Should these restrictions show in the restrictions list?

Regards

Hi can you please confirm if you are seeing this behavior on iOS or macOS? As of this time on iOS the only supported keys are forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates and enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay. All of the other keys are macOS only.
