Spotify block through override not taking effect

[jesse_fletcher]

I'm having an odd issue with Application Control (Blocking Spotify) on an outgoing client policy on 6.2. Wondering if anyone would have any insight to what I may be missing?

The application control profile has Spotify added as an override with Block as the action. When I check the logs and filter Spotify it appears with pass as the action.

I've confirmed through these records that it is the correct policy which has the profile with the override in it that is being applied to that traffic.

Is there anything else in the app control profile that needs to be done other than adding the override block in order for that to work?

Screenshots linked below. Thanks.

Thanks for the info! I’m facing a similar issue where overrides don’t fully block Spotify. Could it be a policy misconfiguration? For those interested, the  Spotify Premium APK iOS might help bypass restrictions in some cases.

Hello,

It seems you're facing an unusual issue with Application Control, specifically regarding blocking Spotify using an override. Although you've set the override to "Block" in the application control profile, the logs show a "Pass" action for Spotify. You've already verified that the correct policy, which includes the profile with the override, is applied to the relevant traffic.

To troubleshoot further, I recommend double-checking the application control profile settings to ensure all necessary configurations are correctly in place. Additionally, review any specific details or requirements within the application control profile that could be affecting the ability to block Spotify. Considering the issue, it might be helpful to investigate whether alternative Spotify usage methods, such as those involving Spotify Premium IPA on iOS 16, are influencing the behavior you're observing.

It sounds like the application control profile isn't enforcing the Spotify block as expected. If you've already added the override with Block as the action, make sure the application signatures are up to date, and check if there are any conflicting policies that might be allowing Spotify traffic to pass.
