Disabling store demo mode

If you consider installing the configuration file included below make sure you understand how to disable this mode first.

Mobile configuration files are used to configure phones in enterprises. Apple provides an app called the iPhone Configuration Utility (IPCU) to install and remove configurations. To disable store demo mode:

• Use IPCU to remove the configuration from the phone
• Reboot your device

Installation

The easiest way to enable Store Mode is to install the .mobileconfig file listed below. Installing using the IPCU did not work for me, but opening the file in Safari worked fine. Point Mobile Safari to:

Mobile configuration file to disable the home button (AppLock.mobileconfig, 1.8kb)

Contents of the file available below, configure to your likings if you intend to distribute it yourself.
