Google Play Store apps are distributed through Android Enterprise (managed Google Play). Primo pushes approved apps to enrolled Android devices through the managed work profile.

Platform compatibility

When to use

  • You need to deploy apps to managed Android devices
  • You want employees to access approved apps through the managed work profile

Prerequisites

Android Enterprise must be configured and devices enrolled via the managed work profile or fully managed enrollment.

Available options

  • Managed Google Play — the app appears in the managed Google Play store on the device, for employees to install on demand. Android apps don’t appear in the Primo Self-Service portal.
