Okay, here’s my situation. I need our android devices to automatically install and update enterprise apps through Hexnode without any user interaction. The devices are locked in kiosk mode, and I really don’t want to share the kiosk password with users. I am pretty new to Hexnode, so any guidance would honestly help a lot.

No worries, @rose-wilson, this is actually doable. Just set up a Required apps policy and add your enterprise app there. Assign it to the devices, and make sure those same apps are part of your kiosk setup.
When you have an update, go to the Apps tab, find your enterprise app, open it, and hit the tiny gear icon on the top. Choose edit and replace the current APK/Xapk with the new version here. Required apps will push the update automatically without users touching anything.
If you ever need a device to exit kiosk temporarily without giving out the password, you can use the remote actions. Send disable kiosk mode, and once you’re done, just send Enable kiosk mode again. Probably not needed for this specific case, but anyway you asked.
I have been working with Hexnode for a couple of years now, and honestly, their docs are amazing. Definitely check them out, they’ll help a lot when you’re just starting out.

That actually helps a lot. I didn’t think it would be this straightforward. We just moved to Hexnode, so there’s a ton to learn. I will definitely go through their documentation. Thanks, @casper!
