Application installation
Last updated July 17th, 2025
This feature is only available upon request. Please contact your Knox Guard admin.
You can install a custom app on your devices for various company functions. The app can be updated using Google Play. If the target device already has the app, the system checks the app’s information and either installs or retains the latest version.
You can’t apply this policy using bulk actions.
Set default application for installation
By default, app uninstallation prevention is applied to the installed app. This stops device users from manually uninstalling the app.
When installing a new app, the old app remains on the device, but uninstallation prevention shifts to the new app. The user can manually uninstall the old app.
To configure your app installation settings:
-
Navigate to the Policies page.
-
Under ADVANCED CONTROLS, click APPLICATION INSTALLATION.
-
Upload your custom app. The app package must be no larger than 150 MB, and in APK format.
-
(Optional) You can Automatically launch the application after first installation (only at initial enrollment and factory reset).
-
Click SAVE.
If you want to install multiple apps (up to five), you’ll need a Knox Guard Advanced license. For more information, contact the sales team.
