Maximum number of blocked applications

After doing some testing I stumbled upon some errors when setting a fairly large amount of applications to store.applications.blockedApplications.

I figured out that ManagedSettings are stored in a plist file which has a maximum size that the OS is willing to read (hint: it's less than 600KB)

So I'd ask two questions:

  1. What's the maximum amount of applications we can set as blockedApplications and
  2. What does the console log of Ignoring forbidden setting application.blockedApplications: valueNotAllowed mean? Which value is not allowed?

Just tested it out with valid bundle identifier applications. The maximum appears to be 50 (fifty)

Even more argument for a whitelisting approach, filed here: FB9460047 🙏
