You can distribute applications to end users automatically once an app is activated in the UEM console or on-demand through an App Catalog.
For more on managing apps with the App Catalog, please see the VMware Workspace ONE UEM Mobile Application ManagementGuide.
Refer to the Appendix for an extensive list of capabilities by platform, SDK and App Wrapping.
The following information applies to different types of apps you can publish:
- Workspace ONE UEM applications – These apps include Workspace ONE Content and Workspace ONE web.
- Internal applications – Internal apps can be wrapped apps or apps that you have integrated with the AirWatch SDK. Apps that are not wrapped must have a Default Scheme built into the app, which is extracted and saved when the app is uploaded to the UEM console.
- Android end users are prompted to install all assigned internal apps automatically after enrollment.
- For iOS devices, you must enable the App Catalog for applicable organization groups so internal apps can be launched directly from the AirWatch Container.
Note: Irrespective of the default scheme applied or not, the internal applications and public applications (other that Workspace ONE UEM applications) do not reside inside Container but will be seen on the device screen and App Catalog.
- Public/Purchased applications – Public apps are only available as on-demand, recommended apps. They are not considered containerized and do not support SSO, branding, console commands, or updated badges.
- These apps can be installed from the AirWatch Container springboard if a Default Scheme is included in the application information in the UEM console. If the Default Scheme is not included in the application information, the app will be available in the App Catalog.
- To review an application's Default Scheme, navigate to From the Actions menu, select Edit
to see the application information.
- To review an application's Default Scheme, navigate to From the Actions menu, select Edit
- If no default scheme populates in the application information, then contact the appropriate vendor for that information.
Note: Irrespective of the default scheme applied or not, the internal applications and public applications (other that Workspace ONE UEM applications) do not reside inside Container but will be seen on the device screen and App Catalog.
To improve app functionality on Android devices, push Workspace ONE UEM applications to enrolled devices as managed apps from the UEM console, even if the apps have already been downloaded.
For AirWatch Inbox on iOS devices, make sure the correct Default Scheme (awemailclient) has been entered in the UEM console.
Note: The Workspace ONE UEM Container for iOS does not support the deployment of iOS applications purchased through Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP). - These apps can be installed from the AirWatch Container springboard if a Default Scheme is included in the application information in the UEM console. If the Default Scheme is not included in the application information, the app will be available in the App Catalog.
- Web Clips and Bookmarks – Web Clips for iOS and Bookmarks for Android are hyperlinks to web addresses and appear as icons on the device springboard. Workspace ONE Web is required to open these links. If Workspace ONE Web has not been downloaded to the device, then the user will be prompted to download it to open these links.
- Ensure that Web Clips or Bookmarks have the Show in the App Catalog checkbox selected in the appropriate payload in UEM console.
