Add apps for distribution
You distribute apps to MAM-only devices through MobileIron Cloud. Do the following in MobileIron Cloud:
- Add the apps that you want to distribute to MAM-only devices.
- Assign the apps for distribution to the dynamically managed devices group created for AppStation.
| NOTE: | AppConnect apps require additional AppConnect-related configurations as well. |
See the MobileIron Cloud Administrator Guide for adding and configuring apps in MobileIron Cloud. Some relevant sections are: "Adding an app from a public store," "Adding an In-house app," "Configuring AppConnect Devices," "Configuring AppConnect Apps."
| IMPORTANT: | When adding apps that are not AppConnect apps to the AppCatalog, ensure that the launch URL field is configured. Enter the custom URL for launching the app in the Launch URL field. This is not required for AppConnect apps. See also Custom URL for an app. |
Custom URL for an app
An app's custom URL allows you to launch the app from AppStation. You configure the custom URL in the Launch URL field when you add the app in MobileIron Cloud for distribution. Since it's not trivial to identify the custom URL from the app itself, MobileIron recommends checking directly with the developer or doing an Internet search to find the launch URL.
For ease of deployment, the custom URL for MobileIron apps and the following common apps is built in to AppStation:
- Dropbox
- Box
- Microsoft Exce
- Microsoft Outlook
- Microsoft Word
- Microsoft Powerpoint
- Microsoft Whiteboard
- Microsoft Sharepoint
- Microsoft OneNote
- Microsoft SkyDrive
You do not need to configure a custom launch URL for AppConnect apps.
