Unable to parse UUID from file

Read this section to troubleshoot when you get the error “Unable to parse UUID from file.”

Problem: Unable to load a custom policy into WebUI, as it throws the error “Unable to parse UUID from file.”

Cause: The custom profile contains binary characters and is not in a format that WebUI can read properly.

Solution: Upload a custom profile in a format that WebUI supports (.xml, .syncML or .mobileconfig) that does not contain any binary characters.

Tip:

Avoid directly uploading profiles that are obtained from different sources and use the appropriate applications such as Profile Creator (https://github.com/ProfileCreator/ProfileCreator to create standard or customized configuration profiles.
You can upload .syncML file by changing the specific file format to look for into “All Files” to view and select the .syncML file.
