Byod / Work profile

I'm relatively new to work profiles and how they work.

I have an oppo Android 10 device enrolled in Soti as work profile.
Yet only a few apps are showing in the work environment which include: Chrome, contacts, Files, Google, Mobicontrol and Playstore.

I have 2 questions regarding apps.
1. How can I add the standard camera app (available in Personal) to my work profile?
2. What are the methods of adding other apps to the work profile (not already present on the device)
- Custom apps
- Playstore apps

Hope others have more experience with this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Wesley,

Please find my advice for your questions. 

1. How can I add the standard camera app (available in Personal) to my work profile?

Answer:  
I think it can not be done because the standard camera app is designed by its device vendor and works only for that device model. 
It's not meant to be distributed in app store due to compatibility issue.

2. What are the methods of adding other apps to the work profile (not already present on the device)

Answer: 
For custom apps, if you have the .apk file you can build a package and upload it to the profile to install it on the device.
(Please refer to the link for building a package. https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v15.4/en/console/packages/apps/packages.html )

For Playstore apps, you can create an Application catalog rule (MobiControl version 14) / App policy (MobiControl version 15) to push the required apps to the devices.
(Application catalog rule: https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v14.5/en/console/applications/appcatalogrules/using.html)
(App policy: https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v15.4/en/console/applications/appcatalogrules/using.html)
