    allow sideloaded app updates in kiosk mode Solved Locked

    Hey there, I've got a problem with a single-app Kiosk Mode profile on Soti MobiControl. I've set up a profile to lock a device down to a single, custom Android app. This app was manually installed via an APK file, not from the Google Play Store. The app has its own built-in self-update feature. However, the Kiosk Mode profile seems to be blocking these updates. The app on the device remains on the original version that was installed and never gets updated, even when it tries to update itself. I need to find a way to allow this self-updating process for the app while the device remains in Kiosk Mode. My question is: What specific configuration or script is needed in Soti MobiControl to allow an internally self-updating APK to function correctly while in a single-app Kiosk Mode profile? I'm looking for a solution that avoids disabling Kiosk Mode or manually updating the APK every time. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!
