Summary:
We are an MDM provider and some of our mutual customers are asking if it’s possible, via the Home Screen Layout payload, to define Folder pages - i.e. you create a Folder and instead of having 16 items you have 4 in the first page and 12 in the second one.
Customers are arguing this is doable with Apple Configurator.

There is no indication in the Profile Reference guide on how to do this ; “Pages” is an array of arrays of dictionaries, but I tried to split the main array into 2 arrays like this:

              <key>DisplayName</key>
              <string>test me</string>
              <key>Pages</key>
              <array>
                <array>
                  <dict>
                    <key>BundleID</key>
                    <string>com.apple.AppStore</string>
                    <key>DisplayName</key>
                    <string>App Store</string>
                    <key>Type</key>
                    <string>Application</string>
                  </dict>
                </array>
                <array>
                  <dict>
                    <key>BundleID</key>
                    <string>com.apple.mobiletimer</string>
                    <key>DisplayName</key>
                    <string>Clock</string>
                    <key>Type</key>
                    <string>Application</string>
                  </dict>
                </array>
              </array>
              <key>Type</key>
              <string>Folder</string>

but it does not work

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy an Home Screen Layout profile to define apps on different folder pages


Expected Results:
folder must contain multiple pages and apps go in defined pages

Actual Results:
folder only contains one page, until 16 apps are in.
