Background:
Apple provides a "kiosk mode" for their iPads as part of iOS6 which locks the device into one application (even boots directly into the app too). Great for using iPads in retail/restaurants/etc.
In order to use this, the device first has to be setup as a "Supervised" device using Apple Configurator. You then add a special entry to a configuration profile called "App Lock". I followed the recently-updated configuration profile document. Essentially, you just set the PayloadType as 'com.apple.app.lock' and add a property called 'Identifier' which is set to the value of your application's bundle ID.
When I try to add the config profile to the iPad (whether through a Safari link, MDM, or Apple Configurator), it rejects it.
The console output in Xcode shows the following:
