I am trying to test a Facebook Ads Management application, for advertising for mobile apps specifically. I don't have a real mobile app but need a mobile app registered on facebook and in ios and android app stores in order to reference its facebook app id when testing ad creation. Is there a way to have a mobile app like this, just for testing purposes?
I registered a MobileTest app on Facebook, but I don't have a mobile app in the stores for the Facebook app to point to.
if you are just testing you can use any other apps available on app store (google play or ios). If you are just checking the functionality or your Code then its a good option. We also don't have any mobile app so we used other play store apps to publish ads (didn't run those ads). Use any app which has fewer downloads.

I have a comprehension question. I have an Android project in which there are two modules. One is a mobile application and the other is a wearable application. Both apps communicate with each other when they are running. Now I want to upload both apps to the Google Playstore, the mobile app can run alone the wearable app cannot. Since both have the same package name I can't publish them separately. How to proceed in such a case? I have the same problem with Firebase App Distribution.
We have successfully configured enterprise-owned Zebra TC57 android handheld devices to be managed via Microsoft Intune for mobile device management. We are currently using the Managed Google Play store for app distribution, and it generally works well.
But the current week or longer review time, even for the "open beta" channel, is hampering our ability to react to quickly changing needs or identified defects. While we could look at "closed testing" and "internal testing" tracks, but those don't play well with our Azure-based logins, and doesn't work around the week-long review cycle.
Based on these Microsoft MDM Docs, it seems like an Android "line-of-business" app would work well, since we can immediately distribute the APK files via the Intune "Company Portal" app. However, I've hit a major hangup with the Intune "Company Portal" app.
It is simply not visible as an icon / app to launch on the devices. I can verify via Settings => Apps that "Company Portal" is installed, but there is no "Open" button there, or via the managed Play Store. I simply cannot launch the Company Portal app in order to install our in-house Line-of-Business apps.
Why is the Company Portal app missing on our devices? How can I install it, or launch Android line-of-business apps on our Intune managed enterprise devices?
I'm working on a project where employees will receive Chromebooks. The plan is to use the native Office 365 Android Apps.
The Chromebooks are configured to authenticate against Azure AD which is configured by using this document:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/google-apps-tutorial
Everything works like it should and I can SSO to the Office 365 portal (portal.office.com) and use all my Office 365 apps.
However, I would like this to work for the Android apps as well, e.g. if the user starts Excel for Android, to have it SSO sign-in as well.
The problem is here that the user account also exists in Google and it uses that account to access the Play Store and Android apps, not the Azure AD account.
Any idea how to accomplish this or is this just plain impossible?
Thanks!
There does not seem to be any official documentation on this. However, my experience from my Android phone and Chromebook is that there is SSO between the Office365 apps even if it doesn't SSO from the initial Chromebook login. So they may need to sign into one of the apps, but from there the login will transfer between them. That login is also good for a period of time based on your O365 policies.
What that means for your users is that during initial setup they may need to log in twice- once for the Chromebook and once for the Android apps. After that they will only need to log in once to the Chromebook and occassionaly refresh their credentials for the apps.
I'm developing a hybrid app that requires an enterprise deployment that means it just needs to be deployed to some specific users in company and not public at all.
Something like it will depend on device id or something unique to make app run on user's device.
Can AppStore or Google Play implement this?
Thanks
On iOS, Apps can be deployed using an Enterprise in house profile.

Enterprise Apps have no limitation regarding the device ID installing the app, but are usually used in combination with a MDM controller, which enforce this part of the security.
Maybe the Google Play Private Channel is what you are looking for:
https://support.google.com/a/answer/2494992?hl=en
The Google Play Private Channel is a feature of the Google Play Store which lets you distribute Android apps internally to users in your Google Apps domain.
Hosting internal apps on the Private Channel allows you to control which users or user groups can download the apps.
I'm designing an API for an Android app. An iPhone requires a user to get an Apple ID, do Android mobile devices in the same way 'require' users to get a Google ID?
Ideally I want to be able to assume that users downloading our app on Android will have a Google account, so that we authentication via the Users and OAuth APIs is a snap.
You're not required to have a Google account associated with an Android device, though most people probably do. You do need one if you download apps through the Market, but you can also side-load apps, use other markets like the Amazon App Store, etc.
For both the Android phones that I've bought in the US (an HTC G1 and an HTC G2) it has forced me to enter my Google account information (or create a new Google account), before I could do anything on the device (similar to how the iPad forces you to connect it to iTunes before you can use it).
Some people suggest clearing the data associated with all the Google apps on the phone to disconnect the device from the Google account, or you can just remove the account through Settings -> Accounts & Sync.
I suspect it boils down to exactly how the carrier delivers the phone to users. If you want your app to be available globally then you should assume many users will NOT have a Google account.
Generally, users need a Google ID to use Android Market. As far as I know, they do not need one to use other markets (such as Amazon). What are you authenticating?
