App update Self install

We run a transport app that runs the whole time and requires a new apk every few months. I'm looking for a way to be able to deploy this update in in some sort of self install capacity and I fear that self install via the mobicontrol would be a little bit difficult for some operators. Currently if I deploy an update of said app while it is use it logs out of the app which is problematic if they currently have a job dispatched.

The Profiles have the option of being Self-Serve. You could assign an updated version of the Package containing the APK to the devices and then set it to Self-Serve so that users could navigate to the MobiControl agent and manually trigger the install to occur when ready. You could create an SOP of sending them some sort of repeated message to remind them to do this for a few days and then eventually set the profile to Automatic if you want to force it to install after a given period of time.
