    Add devices to azure AD for authentication of webapp purpose

    We have some Android devices in production that are running a webapp connected through mobile internet. Hence MFA is used. I would prefer not having to have Microsoft Authenticator installed on these devices for the shared accounts, due to user experience. Is it possible to add enrolled devices in Azure AD, so devices will be trusted and only require usarname and password for the webapp we are running on the devices?

    When push apk...update or uninstall/install? Solved

    Hi. android tc52x  mobicontrol 15.6 I use mc pkg studio to push new apk updates for our app.I use js for my prei (and other) scripts. A practical example would best describe my question. App (apk) current version on scanner: v2.0 New app (apk) version to be pushed: v3.0 Sometimes it will uninstall v2.0 then install v3.0 Other times it will update v2.0 to v3.0. Updates seem to really crash it so then I have to manually uninstall then Force Package Reinstallation from Soti. 1. What determines whether it does an uninstall or update?2. What js command can I use to force our application to uninstall first (in the prei cmd script)? thanks!

    Create virtual turn off key in Lockdown Solved

    Hi guys, At the moment I am in a configuration process with Samsung Tab Active 3. When I apply a lockdown to a device I am unable to turn it off completely when I disable the statusbar. I guess this belongs to the function of bixby. So we want to create a virtual button which is visible on the lockdown. Does somebody know if this is possible? I would be really happy if someone can help me in this case.

    Android 11 - Missing notification icons / soft buttons Solved

    Hi all, We've a customer who had a couple of TC21 devices sent to Zebra for repair, when it left it was an Android 10, and when it returned, an Android 11. Before it left the time and battery percentage were displayed in the notification bar, see image with.png. But now it is not displayed, see image without.png. We've also lost the Home and Recent Apps soft buttons. The devices are all in the same folder and so have the same lock down settings/feature control etc. And when switching to Admin Mode (out of the lockdown) everything displayed as expected. Agent Version 15.3.0. Build 1006 * Have to use imagination, image upload not working

    Chrome Custom Tabs

    Is there a way that we can get an option for Chrome Custom Tabs on the roadmap for Mobicontrol Lock screens?  I know that I can add a url in google managed play store but it would be nice to be able to launch a url in full screen using Chrome and not webview.  I know it can be done in Surf however we have several websites that will not run in Surf.  I also know about http:// and https://, however those run full screen in webview not a chrome custom tab.  It would be nice to have an option for full screen url in a chrome custom tab instead of webview.  Plus with webview I cannot run a command to wipe the data in webview while I can in chrome.

    Self Hosted mobicontrol, need to deploy some andoid enterprise devices getting Failed to Install (Incompatible Platform)

    Hey allI host a slightly out of date (14.1.5.1284) mobi control server for 2 customers.  It has run very well to date.  I created and manage 2 Android+ apps for them.  This has worked very well on our Zebra TC70x Android 6.1 devices, about 40 of them.Along comes a new batch of devices.  They are GMS Oreo 8.1 Zebra TC70x devices.  I have updated them with the Mobicontrol Android enterprise agent.  I am able to get the agent to install and the device to enroll.What I cannot seem t get to happen is a proper profile to install.  If I look at the log for the device, I see " "Failed to Install (Incompatible Platform)".     I am able to drop the APK on the device manually and it will install.What I have noticed is that my version of package studio does not have a choice for Android enterprise (Platform is only Android).  I would like for these new devices to have the app managed as it works on the others.  Do I need to do something to my package, or do something else to deploy my profile?  Maybe some sort of custom script?

    Best method to automate deployment of enterprise browser 2022 Solved

    I'm seeing most new Zebra devices shipping with Android 11 and the replacement for the TC72 releasing soon. I've been looking at solution to the scoped storage issue when installing enterprise browser and enterprise keyboard. Using mainly TC72s with Android Enterprise automated enrollment. (AFW#) I've seen a solution to use file transfer to copy the config.xml and a script to %sdcard% and using mx to run the script and transfer the config to /enterprise/device/enterprisebrowser/. The issue is when I look at Zebra folders I only see /enterprise/usr/ and not the /device/ directory. I've tried using mkdir in the script, but that doesn't seem to work. Wondering if anyone has run into this or found a better solution for enterprise browser. (saw some people using managed configs through google play for velocity)
