Hi,

I have created a StageNow profile which will copy the file reflexWeb+http+10.101.23.40+-1+reflex+update[1_Portrait].apk from a FTP server to an MC33 Zebra Android storage.

When I scan the barcode I am getting the error message 

Does this mean the filename contains unsupported characters?

This request really doesn't have anything at all to do with SOTI does it? If you have MobiControl why not use a Package containing the APK to deliver and install the APK on the devices so you don't have to mess with an external FTP server?

Hi Matt,

By using SOTI Mobicontrol for deploying and installing the .apk file mentioned above. Shall I be facing non-supported characters

like + or .

With StageNow + is not supported and the copy failed.

Why wouldn't you just rename the file name if that is what you are concerned with?

Because by renaming the file I have to add the url setting of the host in the application.

This .apk was not created by us. We are working with a partner who is provided this .apk file.

They are somehow pulling in the configuration information for the APK based on the filename of the APK itself? I've never seen anything like that. Does their app support an external configuration file instead, or Managed Configurations through Managed Play?
