4 TopicsManaged configuration to Gboard has disappeared from MDM
The ability to apply a managed configuration to Gbaord has disappeared. We think this is due to a recent change to the Gboard app where Google has removed this ability. Environment: MDM = Omnissa Workspace One UEM (we are also hearing reports of this impacting SOTI customers as well) Rugged Zebra Mobile devices, majority running either A11 or A13 Leads: Managed App configs are still present on Chrome & ServiceNow Now Agent, hence why we believe this is not an MDM Console issue. We have escalated to Omnissa support anyway, who have in turn escalated to Google. Is anyone else seeing this issue?Solved623Views3likes24CommentsDistribute apps with existing package names via Managed Google Play / MDM
Hi, in general, Android Enterprise devices are always getting the latest version of an app that is available via Managed Google Play. But, there are some edge cases like: older version needed (example: Citrix Workspace app deprecated app for Android 11 and below, might be problematic for special devices like handheld-scanners) beta tests (example: Microsoft Teams, would be awesome to provide this inside the Work profile) In both cases you are receiving APKs from the vendors. For Citrix Workspace they are available here: Download Earlier Versions of Workspace app for Android - Citrix I've tried to discover possibilities to publish them via Intune (should be equal for other MDMs): Private App in Managed Google Play Problems: Package Name not unique: The package name com.citrix.Receiver is already used by another application. APK too big. Limit of 100 MB Distribute app via Google Play Console / Developer private app scoped to Org. ID but, same problems as on Managed Google Play Change package name to something like "com.citrix.Receiver.contoso" tested with: https://apktool.org/ upload: package name now OK, but signature invalid "APK signature is invalid or does not exist. Error from apksigner: string_arg: "ERROR: JAR_SIG_NO_MANIFEST: Missing META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" Did I oversee something? Asking the vendors to build a custom app with own bundle name isn't feasible. Is there no way to publish such apps via MDM to Android Enterprise devices?Solved3.2KViews1like2Comments
