Hello,
I'm a developer of an MDM solution that we provide to multiple companies.
Issue
On iOS 27.0.1, the camera is not re-enabled after the camera restriction is lifted. We use a configuration profile to disable the camera (allowCamera = false). After the profile is removed, the Camera app should become available again, but it stays disabled.
What we've confirmed
The issue was first reported by a customer. I was then able to reproduce it on my own test device running the same iOS version (27.0.1).
The restriction profile is no longer installed on the device. No profile remains under Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.
The customer has Screen Time enabled.
On my test device, restarting the device resolved the issue.
On the customer's device, the issue persists even after restarting.
Questions
Is this a known issue in iOS 27.0.1?
Could Screen Time (Content & Privacy Restrictions) keep the camera disabled after the MDM restriction is removed?
Is there a recommended way to fully restore the camera, either on the device or from the MDM side?
Any guidance or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
