Whitelisting a sideloaded app for Android devices
If the Sideloaded App threat is enabled through the zConsole, when Mobile@Work for Android users install an app on their phone that wasn't downloaded from the Windows App Store or Google Play Store (including Mobile@Work for Android), it triggers a "sideloaded app" threat. If a sideloaded app is approved for your organization and you want to whitelist (allow) it, you can configure this on the zConsole before or after it is installed on a device.
NOTE: | If you chose not to whitelist UEM-managed apps through zConsole, Sideloaded App threats should not be bound to any compliance action. |
