    Javascript pre-install script

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this example script to be used as pre-install script in package studio to give the users a choise to click install when I update an app I want to know where I should put in the bundleID or package name. We can say that I want this to be used on soti surf (net.soti.surf). #!/usr/bin/env jsvar FIVE_MINUTES = 5 * 60 * 1000;var ONE_HOUR = 60 * 60 * 1000;var buttonLabels = ['Install now', 'Install in 5 minutes', 'Install in 1 hour']; if (isAppRunningInForeground('com.acme.importantapp')) {    mobicontrol.message.createInfoDialog('Would you like to install ImportantApp?')        .withButtons(buttonLabels[0], buttonLabels[1], buttonLabels[2])        .withCallback(onConfirm).show();} function onConfirm(result) {    if (result.buttonIndex != null) {        switch (buttonLabels[result.buttonIndex]) {            case 'Install now':                installImportantPcg();                break;            case 'Install in 5 minutes':                setTimeout(installImportantPcg, FIVE_MINUTES);                break;            case 'Install in 1 hour':                setTimeout(installImportantPcg, ONE_HOUR);                break;         }    }} function installImportantPcg() {    // Do nothing - the normal return from the script will launch the package installation} function isAppRunningInForeground(app) {    return mobicontrol.app.foregroundActivities.filter(activity => activity.packageName == app).length > 0;}

    Google Chrome not updating on Android Enterprise Devices

    Hi, we have over 2000 devices but 500 are refusing to update Google Chrome. We have tracked the issue down to the fact that something has pulled the default browser to something else meaning that Chrome needs to be re-enabled in the Playstore (as per screen below) before It will update itself Connecting to each phone manually and clicking "Enable" makes the updates flow again but I don't fancy doing that on 50 phones. Any thoughts on how this coulkd be automated ???

    Google Chrome Fullscreen | Lockdown | MobiControl 14.4

    Hello everyone, maybe someone here can help me. We have the issue that we are currently running a few devices with MobiControl version 14.4, and we are using the Google Chrome browser. We would like to open a website in fullscreen mode from the lockdown. Does anyone have an idea how we can do this? In MobiControl 2025.1, there are the app configurations where this can be set. Unfortunately, we cannot use SOTI Surf here because the integration with the proxy fails, and the helpdesk has not been able to assist me either. Is there a way to configure Google Chrome under MobiControl 14.4? Or does anyone have an alternative browser that could work? Thanks and best regards

    Welcome to Chrome screen asking for Account Solved

    On our installed Zebra TC78 devices running Android 11 (11-35-20.00-RG-U00-STD-ATH-04) I experience the following problem. Devices have a LockDown screen installed with an application which uses or wants to use the Chrome Browser. At first launch of Chrome this opens (com.android.chrome/org.chromium.chrome.browser.firstrun.FirstRunActivity) that remains in background thus can not be accepted by end-user.  Is there a way to do 'Use without an Account' via SOTI Script or otherwise? Thanks in afvance for assistance.

    Profile Install vs MX Version

    We currently have some Zebra TC77s running A8.1 and we are upgrading them to A11.We then have two profiles, one for each OS version, and use the Assign filters to ensure they are only installed in the proper OS version and when the OS is upgraded, it automatically removes the old and installs the new. The issue is that, it takes a while until the MX version updates, and this causes the packages for device configuration to fail installation. This requires that we always go back and force package installation in each device... Is there a way ensure the package only installs after the MX version is updated (MX is not a filter in Assign) and/or to auto keep re-trying to install failed package, so we don't do manually?

    "Blocked by your IT admin" - Android app not start, why? Solved

    If I install an Android application (Owncloud) via SOTI Mobicontrol from the managed Play Store and later try to run it, the app will not be usable—I only receive the following message: 'Blocked by your IT admin.' No additional restrictions have been set (e.g., application run control or feature control...). If I run the same Android app on a managed device without SOTI Mobicontrol, it works fine. Parameters: Device type: Android Enterprise Device family: Android Plus OS version: Android 12 Android status: Provisioned / Enabled with managed Google Play accounts Management type: Work-managed device What can cause the application to run?

    launch scripts from lockdown Solved

    For a customer with Honeywell VM1A terminals using both their serial ports with attached a scanner. Their wish is to enable or disable the scanner input from one of the ports. I know this is possible to do this with an seperate config followed by a reboot. This is working when I'm using a script with the sendintent command in Soti. The wish is, that the user can do this without asking a IT support engineer to trigger the script when needed.  Can I trigger a script from a lockdown screen (Mobicontrol version 2025)
