We are developing Android app for Zebra devices MC18 / Mc40/ TC51 and CC5000. We distribute this APP through Airwatch. I would like to run App autometically just after install no manual interaction. Please let me know if you have any solution

Hi Rajeev,
I'm Ben from Hopsie Inc. I would like to ask you a couple of questions. We try to develop and app to function with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and Zebra Mc40. Can Airwatch provide remote display capabilities and remote control? Do we need MC40 Specific AW Android Agent installed? Followed the guide: https://mans.io/item/zebra/mc40 https://proessays.org instructions manual and user's guide.
Thanks,
Ben

Hello Rajeev,

It seems starting from Android 4.0 you cannot do anything after install, until the user explicitly launches your app.  As of Android 4.0 you don't receive any broadcasts unless the user starts your app once manually. The app is in deactivated state directly after install to stop apps you just downloaded but never used from using up system resources. No code in your app is started, no receiver or service registered etc. Once activated through user interaction it works like before.
