The BES must allow and organization to manage apps from Google Play on Android for Work devices
- an admin can define apps in the BES console and assign to users/groups with a disposition of mandatory/required
- the admin can specify whether the application is installed silently or whether install is triggered by the user
- application are deployed to device or shown in an app catalogue on the device per above definitions by the admin
Note that this applies to both Android for Work native and application based (Pre-L).
Use case:
An enterprise wants to enable their device users to use Android for Work and use BES as their EMM service. They want to manage Apps from Google Play on the Workbench (work profile) of the device.
Business Justification:
Android for Work is expected to be the unified approach to EMM on Android devices. BlackBerry needs to support AfW to remain relevant as an EMM vendor for Android.
