I assigned a WhatsApp license through Apple Business and tried deploying it to an iOS device through Hexnode, but the app installation action kept failing on the device profile.
The app is available as a VPP app in Hexnode, so I don’t think it’s a license sync issue. I also want to prevent users from downloading their own apps from the App Store. Could that restriction interfere with managed app installation?

Yes, iOS app installation restrictions can affect how apps are installed or made available on managed devices.
For a VPP app purchased through Apple Business Manager and deployed from Hexnode, check the restriction policy associated with the device:
One more thing to consider: if you want to stop users from signing in with a personal Apple Account and installing apps that way, disable Modify an account under Advanced Restrictions. This prevents users from adding or changing Apple Account details on the device, which helps block personal App Store app installs.
