Option for MDM to place app shortcuts on home screen
We have a great wish to place shortcuts for specific apps on the home screen when the app is installed (or at a later point), but this doesn't seem to be possible.
When we discuss this with our MDM provider (SOTI), we are told, it is a Google/Android limitation, and this seems a bit strange to me; is it really not possible to place shortcuts on the home screen to your own liking?
I hope this resonates with others - or even better; that I can be corrected, and there is a smart and easy way to achieve this goal.
We run all our Android devices as fully managed, if that is relevant.

That is correct, for icon placement you would have to look for a replacement launcher (home app) that supports it, or lean on the vendor-developed kiosk application.
