Add apps

To assign an app to a device, group, or organization, you must first add them as a managed app to your tenant.

Android app support

For Android Enterprise devices, the app store in the Knox Manage agent opens the managed Google Play Store app, which shows all assigned and available Managed Google Play apps.

For Android Legacy devices, the app store in the Knox Manage agent shows all assigned internal apps available for installation, and will install them through the agent.

The following tables provide detailed compatibility information for each app source broken down by Android version and management mode, split between devices made by Samsung and other manufacturers:

Windows app support

Managed Windows apps are divided between internal and public sources. The Knox Manage agent on Windows has an Application Store page, which the device user can browse for all managed apps. When they select an app, it either installs from the agent, or takes them to the Microsoft Store, where they can install it like a normal app.

There are two Windows app types, each with different installation rules:

• Public apps available through the Windows Store
• Internal apps available through the Knox Manage agent

Device users can browse public apps on the Knox Manage agent, which redirects them to the Microsoft Store for download.

You can configure internal apps to either automatically install to the device, or be made available for download directly from the Knox Manage agent. Knox Manage supports two Windows installer technologies for internal apps.

ChromeOS app support

Managed ChromeOS apps are divided between three app sources, each with different methods for adding them.

macOS app support

You can add, assign, and manage internal macOS apps as PKG files on the Knox Manage console. Internal macOS apps can be set to automatically install on Macs, and you can send device commands to install, update, or uninstall them.
