Configuring Application Manager (AppMgr) in StageNow
The Application Manager (AppMgr) setting allows administrators to define app installation rules, perform silent APK deployments, and assign necessary system permissions during initial device provisioning.
About this task
Procedure
-
Access the AppMgr Setting
- Open your active profile (e.g., Zebra_AMAPI_Enrollment) in the StageNow Workstation Tool.
- Select AppMgr from the profile sequence bar at the top or click ADD / EDIT to include the AppMgr setting.
-
Select Application Action
- In the Application Action drop-down menu, select Install (or Upgrade) to manage local application installation.
- Choose Slightly / Silently Install to enable background installation without requiring user interaction.
-
Define Target Path and Package Details
- In the Target Path and File Name field, enter the exact local storage path on the Zebra device where the downloaded APK was placed by the previous FileMgr step (e.g., /enterprise/usr/AndroidDevicePolicy.apk).
- In the Package Name field, specify the application package identifier (e.g., com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc or com.hcl.bigfixuem.dev).
-
Save and Proceed
- Click Continue > in the bottom-right corner to save the AppMgr parameters.
- Confirm that AppMgr displays a green checkmark in the navigation bar before moving to the next configuration step (Intent).During device staging, the StageNow engine executes the AppMgr payload to silently install the enrollment application package in the background and grant necessary administrative permissions.
