A common question when configuring Kiosk mode is knowing which package names need to be allowed so that certain applications display correctly on the device.
The package names of native Android system apps can vary depending on the manufacturer and system version. However, some packages are standardized and keep the same name on almost all devices:
Google Play Store: com.android.vending
Settings: com.android.settings
How to find out the package name of other apps?
To identify the package name of an app installed on the device:
Access the device registration.
Go to the Monitoring tab.
Then access the Applications sub-tab.
There, you can view all installed apps and their respective package names, as shown in the image below:

Select “Manage Applications”.
Enter the administrator password.
