Using the app catalog application in WSO2 EMM you are able to check for applications that you or your Organization made available in the WSO2 App Manager store, and install them on your device. The functionality of the app catalog is simillar to the Android play store. Let's take a look at how it functions.
The users must first install the app catalog application on the device from the App store:
https://<EMM_HOST>:<EMM_PORT>/store/Once the app catalog is installed on the device it will directly call the services exposed by the WSO2 EMM Agent. The EMM agent will fetch the details of all the available applications, install or uninstall applications based on the request made by the app catalog.
- For more information on getting the application details via the REST API, see the WSO2 App Manager documentation on getting all the application details.
- For more information on installing or installing an application via the REST API, see the WSO2 App Manager documentation on installing and uninstalling an application.
The diagram given below will help you understand how the app catalog works in WSO2 EMM.
- After successfully installing the app catalog, you will access it to install / install applications or get the list of available applications. At that point it will automatically navigate to the WSO2 EMM agent's screen to list out all the available applications.
