Sending and removing apps from devices
- Versions of the applications that you want to install on devices
- Whether applications are required or optional
After you create a software configuration, you can assign it to a group or individual user accounts. The BlackBerry Administration Service creates a deployment job to make the required applications available for devices to download and install. A deployment job consists of a number of tasks. Each task manages the delivery of a specific object (for example, an application) by communicating with the appropriate BlackBerry Device Service components. The device automatically installs required apps in the work space after the device downloads them.
The BlackBerry Administration Service creates an application job task to install or remove required apps. The BlackBerry Administration Service does not create an application job task to install optional apps, but it does create an application job task to remove optional apps.
Optional internal apps are made available on BlackBerry PlayBook tablets in the Work tab in the BlackBerry World storefront.
Optional internal apps are made available on BlackBerry 10 devices in the Company Apps tab in BlackBerry World for Work storefront, and apps that are available in BlackBerry World that you specify as optional work apps are made available in the Public Apps tab of BlackBerry World.
To remove an app from devices, you can remove the application from a software configuration.
