Hello, looking to install an app update, and I was wondering if there was a script that could allow installation from unknown sources to allow the install, then run a script post install to shut it back off?

Hello,

I'm not an expert but in the doc of android + no script are available actually .. 

In all our device, we have disable this by a profile -> looks at feature control in profile

You can disable it and install, update app without no problem (stage now or profile)

Hi Chi Pham,

In theory, there is a method to do what you're asking, by using the PREI.CMD and POSTI.CMD functionality within Package Studio you could try this:

PREI.CMD
writeprivateprofstring DeviceFeature DisableInstallationFromUnknownSources 0
apply featurecontrol

POSTI.CMD
writeprivateprofstring DeviceFeature DisableInstallationFromUnknownSources 1
apply featurecontrol

Let us know how it goes?

That's what I was thinking about, running a pre and post installation script and build that around a package. Just wasn't sure what the script would be to turn that switch on/off. I'll give it a go!
