Pushing Apps to Devices

Org > Apps

A LiminalMDM license is required to remotely push apps to devices through Android Enterprise. If you do not have a LiminalMDM license, you will need to manually install apps on devices via the Google Play Store or by connecting them to a PC and using direct file transfer. For more information, see Features by License Type.

To push apps to devices:

Approve the application in your Managed Google Play Store. For more information, see Approving an Application in your Managed Google Play Store.
Navigate to your organization or site, and select the Apps tab.
Click the name of the app you want to push.
In the Application Configs section, click Add, or select a config from the list and click Clone.
Use the Install Options tab to configure how the app will be made available on devices.
- Available. The app is available for the user to install from the device's Managed Play Store.
- Kiosk. The device boots to the app, and it is the only app accessible to non-admin users.
- Force Installed. The app is automatically installed on the device.
