operational device used for scanning - but what about those "other" Play Store apps?
We have rugged operational devices from various OEMs that we use for specific purposes to run the business - and we put our own internally developed business apps that we need on the devices. Those are the only apps that an end user ever opens, and, we usually have a specific Launcher in place. We don't usually look too much at the "consumer" type apps that come installed with Android on the device, normally. (calculator, clock, gmail, google TV, etc.) However with the recent news about Chrome vulnerabilities coming out, we have started to look at this again. I am curious how others are dealing with this situation - do you update these other apps on your rugged devices, even if they are never used? Do you remove them? If you do update them, how do you do it? Does it happen automatically without intervention, or do you need to add them in as managed apps to whatever MDM you are using? What we see is, without taking any action, that those apps never update as it stands now. As a first attempt at dealing with this situation, we just added Chrome as a "managed" app in our MDM, and only then does Chrome update. thank you2.3KViews0likes3Comments
