With the help of Managed Play iFrame to publish private apps, admins can have their In-house or private applications hosted on the Play Store via the EMM console without any additional registration process.
In SureMDM, we have the option to upload the private apps onto Google’s Play Store and make them visible throughout the organization. The only details you need to provide are an app’s title and APK, and most apps are ready for distribution within 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Private apps published from the iframe will not go through the same checks as other apps hosted in the Play Store. As a result, they can’t be converted to public apps.
- On average, you can upload a total of 15 private apps per day. Up to a compressed app apk size of 100MB.
