Are there instructions on how to make an installed app appear in guest mode by default? Most of the apps I sideload end up being visible only when logged into Admin mode.

In the Management Package , under packages/android/actions/UPDATE_USER_GROUPS , we can set attributes for user_groups.xml file to define what applications and functionality are accessible in guest mode , and other custom modes . If someone decides to have a different application except for the default "Home" application to be the landing page for Guest Sessions , they can modify the user_groups.xml file , and set that app to be home . In the sample user_groups.xml file below, the guestHome attribute is set to "com.motorola.asds.isign.home/.Home" by default . Now one can change that value to the ComponentName of the application activity they want to be home in the guest mode. In the same way the landing pages for other modes can be changed.
