Silent Enroll

We are taking on a ne group of devices which are currently on Airwatch. The customer does not want to do any interaction with thedevice to enroll Mobi. They want to setup a package on Airwatch and then have teh APK auto install and activate all options required. Basically they don't want the device user to have to be involved in anyway,

There are 2 parts to this.
1. Creating a package on Airwatch that will install the mobi apk (Samsung ELM). I believe the best way for this may be using the .apk and the .ini. We don't currently have access to or any experience with Airwatch so that is probably not a question for here.
2. Have the apk launched from Airwatch and then run through the install process. We can't have any questions from either the os or the app. Using the .ini this should eliminate the need to input the enrolment id. We still have to accept all permissions and run though a lit of settings on the device. Is there any way around this so that the apk will install, pickup what it needs from the ini and just run and activate silently?

Can anyone help with either part but really part 2. Please and thank you.

EDIT: We are using Android Plus classic, not enterprise.

I honestly do not think this is possible under Android Enterprise, assuming thats what you're using. There can only be one Device Owner active at any given time on the devices by design in Android Enterprise so I don't think there is anyway to orchestrate this with a clean handoff. Not only will this likely require manual interaction with the devices but they also will likely need to be factory reset as well in the migration process before being reconfigured by SOTI.

Apologies, its Android Plus (classic). We already have a few devices with both Airwatch and Mobi running. The problem being the "silent install".

Thank you though. I'll update the original post.
