About the Apps@Work Container

This guide refers to Connected Cloud. Connected Cloud has reached end of life. Please see this article for more information.

The Apps@Work Container is a custom iOS app designed to display the web-based Apps@Work enterprise app storefront in a full-screen web view or “container.” This Apps@Work app displays the same app storefront as the Apps@Work web clip, but it also does the following:

  • The Apps@Work app allows MobileIron Core to badge the Apps@Work app home screen icon when app updates are available.

    The badge displays the number of updates and featured apps which have not yet been installed on the device.

  • The Apps@Work app allows the app storefront to remain accessible to users in restrictive deployments where MobileIron Core enforces restrictions to disable Safari on devices.

Download, rebrand, and sign the Apps@Work Container app if you want device users to have these features.

When using MobileIron Core 9.5.0.0 through the latest supported version, you can provide custom branding assets such as the app name, app color, and banner icon. You provide these in the MobileIron Core Admin Portal in Apps > Apps@Work Settings. For details, see “Apps@Work Branding” in the Apps@Work Guide.
