Hi,

I install TeamViewer app with the Managed Google Play.

Once installed, is it possible to launch the app automatically?

Hi Mattia,

do you mean once or on regular base (startup of the device,...)?

If on regular base, is this the only app to be used? What device models you use?

Hi Rafael,

only once when the app was installed.

Thanks,

Try following:

  1. Create and save a script in the managed scripts: start budleID_of_Your_app
  2. Then you can create a Profile containing a task being executed once (and immediately).
  3. This task has to execute the previously saved script 
  4. And assign it to the relevant devices with a filter set that the relevant app (via bundleID again) is on status installed.

What I'm not sure about: If Mobicontrol will detect this soon enough to assign the profile. So test it on a test device.

Hi Rafael,

but I don't use the profile to deploy the app.

I use the app policy with Google Play Store.

Thanks,

The approach outlined by Rafael would work regardless of how the app is deployed. He is recommending a Profile containing just a Task Scheduler based script that will one run time once the Profile is installed. The Profile can be installed based on filter criteria that checks to see the install status of the app on the device(s).

Exactly, Matt has described it correctly.

And just to add: If my idea doesn't work (because Mobicontrol is recognizing the install state of the app too late), then your mentioned app installation via profile would be the only possible one i know off, which means then:

Create a package with the apk file and check "automatically execute" for the apk. Then deploy the package via profile to the devices.

If you need/want the regular updates from playstore, you can also assign this app from playstore with the mentioned filter from above.
This would mean installing always the same apk version by default and later it's getting updated by playstore (if you don'T update the apk file in the package). But i recommend to get the apk file from the developers of the app.
