Using paid apps in corporate environments
It would make sense to use the same account as the one you use for the binding. It would make it one central hub for managing everything around apps and management for your work devices.
Lets see what Emilie has to say!
Hey Michel!
Thank you for sparking a new conversation about paid apps and how we could make these available for deployment - hearing your ideas is always interesting!
How do you imagine this could work? Would Moombas' idea of buying multiple user licenses work? Or would you rather buy a company license? 🧐
Hey Emilie_B !
I think being able to buy all paid apps available would be the ultimate goal. Otherwise only apps with licensing constructions outside the playstore could be bought, but there are smaller app developers that only provide payments trough the google play store. Since they might offer usefull apps, companies aren't able to buy those in bulk.
Again, its not a question I got asked a lot but it happens every now and then. And seeing the low response on this topic, its not a hot topic among others I think.
Personally I like the way Apple solved this, buying apps trough the apple business manager portals and dstributing this to an MDM. But the whole proces of enrollment and communication between Apple business manager and MDM is completely different from Android's version. Apps can only be selected via business manager, there is no iFrame like solution. So i'm with Moombas that it might be a big challenge for Android to even implement something like this.
Just me thinking out loud here haha
