title: Lock-down iPhone/iPod/iPad so it can only run one app
body: <p>We'd like to 'lock-down' an iPhone/iPod/iPad so that the user can only run one app (we've developed this app internally). I'm guessing we'd be looking at jailbreaking, and then replacing (?) the default Springboard app. </p>
  
  <p>Can we do this? If so, how?</p>

  <p><strong>EDIT: iOS 7 now includes an 'App Lock' payload</strong> as part of the device configuration profile. From the Apple docs:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><em>"By installing an app lock payload, the device is locked to a single application until the payload is removed. The home button is disabled, and the device returns to the specified application automatically upon wake or reboot."</em></p>
  </blockquote>
