BYOD application catalog enterprise apps fail to get pushed out

My company has started moving from the ELM clients to the android enterprise and BYOD setup devices. So far this has been a simple thing to do and it is working flawlessly, with one exception. We utilize several non-public enterprise applications that must be pushed out to our users. If they are on BYOD it does not get pushed or even detected on the end user's phone.

Since we utilize BYOD using the packages for the apps is not an option.

I located this page

http://www.soti.net/mc/help/v10/en/Content/Web/Rules/Plus/Plus_Web_ApplicationCatalog.htm

about half way down there is a section stating you can upload an enterprise application to the application catalog and push it out that way but only if you have a SSL certificate on the server to validate authenticity. We already have an SSL cert installed on the server per the requirements.

When i try to push the enterprise applications using this method nothing happens. the app does not show up on the application catalog of any phone that i assign it to, android Enterprise or even an older ELM device. there is no error message or alert that tells me the issue as to why the devices are not seeing the full application catalog. 

Is there a setting that I am missing to enable this feature?

Has anyone successfully pushed a non-google play store application via the application catalog?

Hi Cory, 

I believe the only way to push and install non-google play store apps (internal apps) is via a package or via file sync and script. 

App catalog only lets you add playstore applications. 

Please let me know if you have further questions on this.
