You can deploy any application to your device via a configuration. To do this, you must first upload an application to your ManageXR app library. To learn how to do this, you can read through this help document or watch our Uploading Applications Video Tutorial.

Once your applications are uploaded to the ManageXR platform, they will appear in the VR Content section of ManageXR and as available apps to deploy on your configuration page.

Deploy an Application

  1. Go to your configuration

  2. Click Deploy next to the apps you wish to deploy

  3. Click Save Changes

Once saved, your device will begin to sync with the updated configuration and bring itself up to date.

💡Tip: To learn more about how ManageXR handles application updates, check out our Application Update Behavior documentation.


Advanced Options

Toggle the slider in the top right to see additional application options.

  • Force Install - Uninstalls apps before installing a new version. Only enable this if you want to roll back an app version or clear app preferences between updates.

  • Automatically Grant Permissions - Automatically grants any device permissions (storage, microphone, etc.) that the application requests.

Version Control

Applications are continuously being updated. Soon, you will upload your first of many application updates. The next time you have a new version of your app, you can upload it to the ManageXR platform by navigating to the VR Content tab, selecting the app you wish to update, and uploading the new version. With the latest version uploaded, you can now choose which app version to deploy via your configuration. Click the drop-down menu beside the app to select a specific app version. By default, the latest version will be the approved application unless changed.

Note: ManageXR uses the versioning metadata that’s stored directly inside your APK file - to learn more about app versioning best practices, we recommend reading our App Versioning help doc.

Release Channels

The moment you begin to manage multiple app versions on multiple configurations, you should consider using Release Channels instead of targeting specific app versions. As your app evolves, rather than updating each of your configurations with the new version, you can instead simply update the app's Release Channels. Read our Release Channel documentation to learn more.
