App Update Issue in Android Enterprise

Hi Folks,

 

I have the same app installed from Playstore on both profiles (Work Profile and Personal Profile), when I update the app in Personal Profile (from PlayStore) the app (with same package name) in Work Profile also gets updated, also the app update receiver misbehaves. 

 

Is there a solution to it as both Profiles should be completely separate and standalone?

Hi @Alirfan,

 

The way profiles work is separation of user data, while sharing underlying packages. What you're seeing therefore is intended behaviour and a limitation of the current system. 

 

If you update a package in either profile, or any other created user profile on-device (managed or not), the package itself will always update for everyone.

 

There's no workaround for this today.
