    I have some profiles that are stuck in a Pending Install status no matter what I do.

    Hello, We are currently on Mobi version 15.4.2.1020. We use Android tablets and utilize package studio to deploy some APK's that we cannot distribute via the Google Play store. We deploy the same profile to 3,000+ devices. All devices are either a Tab Active2 or Tab Active3. Roughly 60% of the tablets we deploy to will take the update almost immediately and install properly. The other 40% are stuck in a "Pending Install" state. A lot of these are like that because we have been updating via assigning a new profile with the updated apk, then removing the old profile that housed the previous version. Sometimes, when the older profile removes itself from the tablet, it leaves behind the older app version. We used to be able to just manually remove the old apk from the tablet and repush the new profile installation. For whatever reason, now when we perform the above steps, the new profile will not install and stays in a Pending status. I have tried:Unassigning the new profile completely, check - in right after, and then reassigning the new profile to the tablet. I will wait 10 minutes or so and then perform another check in. It just won't download no matter what I try. Our DS queue is sitting at 0 so it's not bogged down. Does anyone have any ideas of where I could look? Any idea why the same tablet models accepting the exact same profile would only be successful on 60% of our tablets?

    Add intent icon into lockdown Solved

    Hi there, I'm trying to create an icon in the lockdown screen to automatically enable Zebra Datawedge. I found the following intent that works correctly if I send it via "send script" feature: sendintent -b "intent:#Intent;action=com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION;S.com.symbol.datawedge.api.ENABLE_DATAWEDGE=true;end" but when I configure the lockdown profile adding an intent: item, the icon has been added to the lockdown but, when I press it, the popup "Activity not fiound" is showed. I'm using Zebra TC21 Android 11 device. Any suggestion? Thank you,

    Granting permissions to 3rd party custom app Solved

    Hello, I am trying to install a custom app via SOTI for testing and possible deployment. Agent version is 15.4.5.1051, OS is 02-32-04.00-OG-U16-STD, Model is Zebra TC56J enrolled as Work Managed Device. I've deployed the app to the device as a package, and added it to the lockdown screen. However when launching the app it says I need to grant permissions. SOTI doesn't allow manually giving permission to the app. It seems SOTI isn't granting permissions to the app upon install. Is there any documentation on mannifest data and how this needs to be declared to SOTI for granting permissions? Thanks.

    Unable to delete files Samsung Android 12/13 Solved

    Hi Everyone, I have another question for you guys because I am unable to find a solution for my issue. For an app we're installing on Samsung Tab Active 3 with Android 12/13. We have to store additional files in the path: "/sdcard/Documents/App"Due to Scoped Storage we have to use a folder like this. We want to rollout a new version of this app and have the change the every file in this path mentioned above. If I update my profile where these additional files are stored than the old files won't be deleted. I tried to add a preinstall-script like "del /sdcard/Documents/App" to delete the old files. It doesn't work. The only options for me which is working is to deleted the files on every device manually over remote control. If I remove or revoke the profile nothing happens on the device. Do you have any ideas how I can delete those files because I got more than 700 devices.

When you go to "managed google play", for example, you don't see the Beamex app (see screenshot above). Regarding default apps, you can only click on "select", but I don't see "Unapprove". Can anyone help me, please ? Thanks a lot, François
