In order to manage devices running Android, Windows Mobile, or Windows CE, you must install an Avalanche Enabler. iOS devices do not require an enabler, for more information on connecting iOS devices to Avalanche, see Connecting iOS Devices to the Avalanche Server.
•If the device has the Google Play Store installed, enable the Settings > Applications > Unknown sources option on the device before you begin to install. This allows you to install an app from any source other than the Google Play Store.
•On Oreo or newer versions of Android, the same setting is in Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Install unknown apps. You'll need to select the browser on the device and set it to Allow.
To install the Enabler on an Android device:
1.Use the device to download the ANS Enabler from the download site.
Only use the GCM Enabler if you already have GCM credentials from Google AND you have configured Avalanche to use them.
2.From the device notifications, tap the application to install it.
3.Tap Accept to agree to the terms and conditions.
4.Tap Activate to allow the application to be a device administrator.
