Creating an Workspace ONE UEM Mobile Application Catalog Item
When App Portal is connected to an Workspace ONE UEM instance, you can use the New Catalog Item Wizard to create a mobile application catalog item containing an Apple iOS, Google Android, or Windows Phone mobile app. All mobile apps configured on the connected Workspace ONE UEM instance, both internal and public store, can be associated with an App Portal catalog item and made available in App Portal.
You can add multiple versions of a mobile application to the same catalog item in order to accommodate different operating systems and different . For example, a single catalog item named ABC Application could contain the following versions of the same mobile app:
|
•
|
ABC Application / iOS iPhone Version |
|
•
|
ABC Application / iOS iPad Version |
|
•
|
ABC Application / Android Version |
|
•
|
ABC Application / Windows Phone Version |
When the end user requests this mobile application, the version appropriate to the user’s registered device will be delivered.
Note:You can also link a mobile application to its corresponding desktop version so that end users requesting one will be asked whether they want to also receive the other. See Linking a Mobile Application with a Desktop Application.
Note:If a user does not have a registered mobile device, that user will not see any mobile applications displayed on the Browse Catalog tab. Also, if a user has only iOS mobile registered, Android-only mobile applications will not be visible on the Browse Catalog tab for that user, and vice versa.
