    Google Managed Enterprise - Paid Apps

    Hello, we currently use a managed enterprise account for installing apps from the Google Play Store on Android devices. Some customers have a need for paid apps, but we're unable to release them via the Soti app policy. Do you have any experience with paid apps and what would be the best way to handle it? Thank you

    Mobicontrol offline instance and Android

    Hello, I'd like to use Mobicontrol 2024 in a closed network and thus doesn't need of all Soti's online services. I've made tests on a local Server, but seems to be difficult to register any Android. Is there somewhere a doc that explains what can and can't be done, or maybe your own experience in those case. thanks a lot.

    wldep file Velocity Solved

    Hi We look for a solution but not really find one. Device: Zebra MC 9300, OS: Android 11, Browser Velocity 2.1.34, SOTI MobiControl 2024.0.0.1075. The Browser Package "Velocity 2.1.34" we can distribute from the SOTI MobiControl. All works fine. Also we not need to give the permission this works also fine..  But we cant find really a solution to send the the settings (wldep file). Did you have maybe a better workaorund as to work with the stage now or manually copy. By the way, how we can delete the demo profile that is as standard installed? I see that is possible with a script?? Many thanks...

    Script manualblacklist causing boot-looping on TC75 devices

    Good morning, I'm writing to you because I used the script below: manualblacklist reset manualblacklist addallowed com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings $BluetoothSettingsActivity manualblacklist on   I used this script to authorize a pop-up for bluetooth pairing on many TC75 devices. After using this script, we realized that many devices are boot-looping. It seems also to be linked to a wifi detection notification. I would like to know if you can help me to know exactly what is doing the script and, in particular, the manualblacklist reset. Do you have any documentation on the manualblacklist commands. Is it possible to list the manualblacklist contain ? I tried manualblacklist list but doesn't show anything. Thank you.   Below an example of device that seems to be affected

    Clear cache on applications Solved

    So currently I have a clear cache script that i deploy to our devices via a profile and it puts clearcache.scr file in the root of the device and i have an icon on the lock screen to call this script and it will clear cache on the selected applications. What I am trying to figure out is there a way i can have a prompt in this script that if they answer yes it runs and if they answer no it will just exit?  The current contents of the clearcache.scr file is below: wipeapplication com.overvyoo.clientsleep 1wipeapplication com.darsleep 1wipeapplication net.soti.surfsleep 1wipeapplication com.android.chromesleep 1

    OEMConfig Profiles vs Managed App Configs

    As of MobiControl 2024.0, I saw that SOTI added OEMConfig management through Profiles. Can anyone clearly explain the pros & cons to this over an application policy using managed app configurations? One reason might be due to some specific network or Google Play restrictions (outlined here), but other than that, what practical benefits do I have as someone that doesn't have those restrictions? I also noticed that SOTI is pushing the legacy Zebra OEMConfig app when deploying the profile, so I've got more questions that documentation doesn't appear to discuss. They do "recommend" profiles over policies, but don't explain why. (This seems to be a common theme in their documentation, a lack of detailed reasoning and impact). How does SOTI determine which app generation (new vs legacy, Zebra) and which app version to deploy? Does SOTI ever update the OEMConfig app or not? How often and under what conditions? Do we have any controls over it? Do the same rules of managing OEMConfig still apply (i.e. tattooing settings to a device) or is there some other functionality to be had? Thanks!

    PowerShell - Uploading APK files to API Packages/v2

    Hello, I have some trouble uploading an APK to the API via packages/v2. $Header = @{}$Header["Authorization"] = "Bearer " + $script:Token$Header["Accept"] = "application/json"$boundary = "mobicontrol_boundary" $BinaryString = [IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($PathToAPK)$LF = "`r`n"$body = "--${boundary}${LF}" $body += "Content-Type: application/vnd.soti.mobicontrol.packagearchive.metadata+json${LF}${LF}"$body += '{    "PackageName":"AutoAPP TestPackage", "PackageVersion":"1.0", "PackagePlatform":"Android",    "PackageFiles": [{ "FileName":"Testfile.apk", "FileSourceType":"Binary" } ],     "PackagePrompt": { "ShowPromptBeforeInstall": false, "PromptMessage":"Install package PackageName now?", "PromptMessageTimeout":10 }}'$body += $LF$body += "--${boundary}${LF}"$body += "Content-Type: application/octet-stream${LF}"$body += "Content-Type-Encoding: Binary${LF}"$body += 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Testfile.apk"' + $LF$body += $LF$body += $BinaryString$body += "${LF}${LF}--${boundary}--${LF}" $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ("https://" + $script:MCFQDN + "/mobicontrol/api/packages/v2") -ContentType "multipart/related; boundary=$boundary" -Method POST -Headers $Header -Body $Body -Verbose I get a success on the upload and after that, on the device, i get I/O error and when I download the package from MobiControl and unpack it, the SettingsManager apk file is 20mb instead of the original 5mb. But if I write the $binarystring back to a file with set-content, I get a 5mb file. An example write-out of $body where I have limited the binarystring output to 100 for readability: --mobicontrol_boundaryContent-Type: application/vnd.soti.mobicontrol.packagearchive.metadata+json {        "PackageName":"AutoApp TestPackage", "PackageVersion":"1.0", "PackagePlatform":"Android",         "PackageFiles": [{ "FileName":"Testfile.apk", "FileSourceType":"Binary" } ],        "PackagePrompt": { "ShowPromptBeforeInstall": false, "PromptMessage":"Install package PackageName now?", "PromptMessageTimeout":10 }    } --mobicontrol_boundaryContent-Type: application/octet-streamContent-Type-Encoding: BinaryContent-Disposition: attachment; filename="Testfile.apk" 80 75 3 4 0 0 0 0 8 0 33 8 33 2 62 29 233 132 51 0 0 0 56 0 0 0 57 0 0 0 77 69 84 65 45 73 78 70 47 99 111 109 47 97 110 100 114 111 105 100 47 98 117 105 108 100 47 103 114 97 100 108 101 47 97 112 112 45 109 101 116 97 100 97 116 97 46 112 114 111 112 101 114 116 105 101 115 75 44 40 240 77 45 73 76 73 44 73 12 75 45 --mobicontrol_boundary-- So, do anyone have any idea as to why the apk file when received by MobiControl gets bigger/corrupt?

    Unable to install application with managed configuration

    Due to the Android 11 restrictions, we're currently attempting to switch to using managed configuration for our application. When updating the application to include the managed configuration, we're able to upload to the SOTI MobiControl as an enterprise application and configure the default settings for the application. However, every time we attempt to install the package we're receiving "Failed to download %s".  Where would we be able to find more information regarding why the application is failing to download and install on the application? We're able to install the applications manually on other devices that are not within SOTI MobiControl.

    How can i deploy and configure a Cisco Anyconnect Client with a VPN Profile and a Certificate for authentification?

    Hi guys! I need some help with my VPN. I already deployed Cisco Anyconnect to my Android Tablet, but since now it was not possible for me to configure an automatic configuration for the VPN Profile with the right settings and a VPN certificate for the authentification. Also as if i try to make a profile in Mobicontrol, to test-deploy a certificate i cannot upload the certificate. I have a .pfx, didn't work. Tried the .key, didn't work either. Also for a .crt. Somehow it is telling me in some cases that the password for the file is not correct. But i know that it is correct - i also tried then to remove the password, but the same story. No password is also a false password. I am looking forward for your answers!  Thanks in advance! :) Best regards, Gerrit
