This setup is needed to enable the feature to publish private apps using FocusMDM

How to delegate organizations managed Google Play Store publishing rights to FocusMDM

Before you can publish private apps using FocusMDM, you need to delegate publishing rights to the FocusMDM platform.

FocusMDM uses the Google Play Custom App Publishing API so programmatically assists you to publish private apps to the managed Google Play Store directly from your the FocusMDM dashboard.

NOTE

This can ONLY be done by a technical person (who completed android for work setup), has the developer account details of your Google Play Console and the gmail account that was used for the android for work setup). Note this cannot be a company Google account (ie GSuite account)


The detailed steps to set this up are explained on the Settings→workspace screen

NOTE: Only once this is correctly setup, will the FocusMDM Dashboard administrator user see an action button named "Publish" in private apps list screen
