Mobile Device Manager - Adding App Configurations

Help Mobile Automation

Hello There,

When adding an App into the MDM (Mobile Device Manager), What If I have an app in the local system or downloaded app, how to add a link into App configuration?

Example: UiPath has provided a link for their demo app - https://uipathtestappsto.blob.core.windows.net/testapps/TheApp.apk

In my case, I already have the app in my local system.
Please clarify.

Option 1: Upload to a Public/Private Cloud Storage (Recommended)

You can host the .apk file and use that link in the configuration.

Examples:

  • Upload to Azure Blob Storage, Amazon S3, Google Drive (with shareable direct link), or SharePoint.
  • Make sure the link is directly downloadable (not a webpage preview).

Then in UiPath App Configuration:

App URL: https://yourstorage.blob.core.windows.net/appfolder/YourApp.apk

Option 2: Use MDM’s Built-in “Upload App” Option (if supported)

Some MDM solutions (like Intune, AirWatch, or MobileIron) allow you to upload the APK directly instead of using a URL.

If you’re using UiPath Device Management (via Orchestrator) and it doesn’t allow upload, you’ll still need to host the APK somewhere accessible — UiPath only reads via HTTPS links.

Steps Example (UiPath MDM / Orchestrator)

  1. Go to Tenant > Mobile Device Management > Apps
  2. Click Add App
  3. Enter details (App name, version, package ID, etc.)
  4. In App URL, paste the hosted link of your .apk
  5. Save and deploy to devices
