Adding Android Apps

To add apps from the Google Play Store:

  1. Locate the app you want to add. Note that you can use the Search field to locate apps by name.

  2. Click the app to open its App Details screen.

  3. Click Approve.

  4. Click Approve again in the confirmation prompt to confirm the operation.

  5. Select one of the following settings for app permissions:

    • Keep approved when app requests new permissions – Users will be able to install the updated app.

    • Revoke app approval when this app requests new permissions – App will be removed from the store until it is reapproved.

  6. Click Save.

  7. Click on the app name to open the app details.

  8. In the App Details screen, click the Permissions tab.

  9. Configure the app's permissions-which device resources the app is permitted to access. What resources are listed depends on the app, but for each permission you can select Allow (the app is permitted to access this resource), Deny (the app cannot access this resource), or User Control (the device user can set this permission). Some common device resources are listed below. This list is by no means exhaustive.

    • Access_Course_Location – permits the app to access the device's general location calculated using location data from cell towers and Wi-Fi.

    • Access_Fine_Location – permits the app to access the device's precise location calculated using location data from GPS, cell towers, and Wi-Fi.

    • Camera – permits the app to use the camera.

    • Read_External_Storage – permits the app to read files that are not stored on the device.

    • Record_Audio – permits the app to access the microphone.

    • Write_External_Storage – permits the app to write files to storage that is not on the device.

  10. Click the Configurations tab.

  11. Use the Configurations screen to apply configurations to the app. What configurations (if any) are available depends entirely on the app, but each field should include a tool tip provided by the app developer to assist you.
