Hide an app in the private Google play store
The particular use case doesn't make sense to me but if I was trying to achieve this goal I would likely leverage some form of kiosk mode and then block the end user access to Google Play completely.
Fully agree and just to add this: That's not possible to hide public apps.
I also see no reason why this should be done.
I am not sure about the capabilities of Neurons but some custom DPC based EMMs like SOTI MobiControl, 42Gears, and, WS1 allow you to install APKs directly on the devices without involving Google Play at all. That would certainly solve this particular problem.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
I think you are talking about being able to import an application in Application In House mode:
In fact, this functionality allows the application to be deployed silently and with the “hide the app” option.
However, this feature is only for private applications and for versioning.
My customer would like to be able to deploy a public app (like Adobe acrobat reader for example) and make it hidden on the Google Play Store
