I created this package to manage a custom APK from a vendor. I have added a second version successfully, however I need to add another version and the EDIT button is now missing. Is there a setting I am missing, the other packages are all editable.
Hello, Is it possible to have one profile with one package that only installs in Android 10 and another package that only installs in Android 11? I have a problem with Android 11 when I try to copy some files to the application folder (not possible after Android 10) and solve it, creating another profile (a clone) with a different package that have a different path to these files and assign only if Android > 10 and existing profile assign only to Android 10. But now I have two similar profiles and I want to just have one. Is this possible?
If we rollout apps from Managed Google Play Store to android devices, many apps support “Managed App Configs”. This is really cool. But we want to deploy critical Apps via packages. We have the apk of the apps. But in the packages, we can not configure the managed app configs. My questions, is it possible to add the managed app configurations, via xml file and the soti package studio? Or will it be an options in the “packages” section in the profiles to configure the existing managed app configurations of the app? Thank you for Help
I used stage now to create an XML file that changes the screen timeout on the devices (Zebra TC21), the test code worked when scanned by the device, but when I used the XML file to create a package using Package Studio and added it to a profile in SOTI, that didn't work. I used a post-install script when creating the package. And by the way, the profile installed the XML file on the device's SDcard but still looks like it did not execute itself. Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you,
I am needing to install an application on a series of Windows 10 devices. All my devices are enrolled using Windows Desktop enrollment. The installer needs to be ran as administrator in order to run properly. We are finding that when we push the package to our test devices, the application gets installed using standard user permissions and thus does not install correctly. We have attempted marking the installer to require administrator as well as creating a shortcut with run as administrator marked for the package to execute instead. What would be the best method to forcing a package to run as administrator on our Windows devices?
Hi. zebra mc55x windows Ce device. On device, the MobiControl Profile shows install failed for package(s). How can I reset them or otherwise allow another attempt at installing them?
Is it possible to script package studio to automatically build a package. I can automate uploading and editing profiles via the API, but I can't find a way to use package studio with a command line to build a new package. Am I missing something?
The latest MobiControl 14.3 is no longer saving changes to existing Profiles. I uploaded a new Package (let's say version 2.0) then modified the Profile's Package assignment to the latest version and hit "Save & Assign". At the Save & Assign window, I basically hit the save button to keep the previously selected groups. The new UI's Profile page then shows me an older version "1.2", and the changes I applied were not actually saved (confirmed by revisiting the old UI's Profile window). Reopening the Profile's list of Packages shows me the previously selected Package version "1.5" when I had in fact chosen "2.0". Simply choosing "Save" instead of "Save & Assign" makes no difference. Deleting the older package "1.2" does not help; the new UI still thinks I have selected "1.2" while the old UI shows "1.5". Now before you tell me "just create a new Profile"... I have some bad news for you. The same problem is replicated when creating a brand new Profile with a single Package. I select the latest version (2.0) and the new UI shows me the older version available (e.g. 1.3, since I deleted "1.2" before). And yes, I cleared my browser cache, cookies, the kitchen sink, etc. MobiControl 14.3 also stopped supporting RSA-PSS certificate signatures (this was fixed in 14.1.x and is broken again!) resulting me to re-generate SHA2 certificates. So yeah, probably a good idea to postpone updating to the latest and greatest until these issues are sorted. Side note: the new Profile and Package UI reduces productivity quite a bit. Takes more clicks and more pop-up windows to delete packages. Was this "improvement" actually necessary?
hi everyone, I need to know the package name for the Multi Window (see picture below), I want to blacklist it from the SOTI Mobicontrol platform. Thank you for your return, Best Regards,
Hi everyone and RC, wondering if anyone has setup a shared Build Directory to sync .mcp/.pcg and contained files between multiple users. Maybe using a URL? I have tried this with minimal effort but when pointing the Build Dir to a syncd cloud server, it specifies the C:\ user path, which is also different for our Mac engineers. Thanks!
I'm trying to re-install a package, that was previously installed on my Nokia 8 (Android 8.0.1) using an Android Enterprise Profile. The profile installation is now failing with the message File IO error on device. Check Storage/Permisisons. Any ideas?
Does Soti have the ability to restrict profiles and packages from being applied over cellular? We have a bunch of Zebra TC-56's and we want them to be able to contact the server when they are out on the road via cellular so we can remote control and locate them, but we do not want them applying packages because it chews up cellular data. Instead we would like the devices to wait until they are back at our buildings on wi-fi to perform package installations and updates. Is this possible via built-in Soti functions or even some scriptable work around?
Is there any method (official or unofficial) for exporting Packages from an existing MobiControl instance so that they can be migrated to a new instance if you no longer have the original Package file?
