Samsung Android Application Catalog Android

To Deploy applications to Android devices, you need to create an Application Catalog Rule. The user will then access the catalog, using their device, to view and download available applications.

Google Android Tab

The six steps below describe how the Create Application Catalog Rule Wizard can be used to create an Application Catalog Rule:

1. Start the wizard.

   Select the Rules Tab, from the Google Android Tab, then Right-Click the Application Catalog Rules folder and select Create Application Catalog Rule. The first page of the Create Application Catalog Rule page will be displayed.

   Enter a descriptive name for the Application Catalog Rule you are creating and choose a Banner Graphic, then click Next.. A Banner Graphic must be 2100 pixels by 65 pixels and must be a picture file (Jpeg, Jpg, png, and gif).

Note:

In a production environment typically a trusted SSL certificate is used already, but during demo/evaluations it is common to use the MobiControl generated SSL certificate, which will result in the Android device not being able to download Enterprise APK's.
If MobiControl is configured with a trusted SSL certificate (e.g. VeriSign, GoDaddy, etc.) then the Android device will be able to download Enterprise APK files.
