Hey team,
We sadly use custom ROM flashed android devices that don’t allow us to own them through android enterprise the classic way. This means our options for automated deployment are slim, as you don’t offer a way to upload .apk files directly to your API for distribution.
Due to this restriction, it reduces our CICD chances to 0.
I found in your docs that apps installed using a manifest path will visit that URL to download the .apk, but if we manually update the version code, it will revisit that URL to then fetch the latest version on the device. This is 99% of the way to an automated deployment, all I ask for is an ability to update an android apps version code or manifest path settings via your API.
Your API supports adding a new app, and even supports updating a web app – but it does not support setting the manifest path details for android, nor does it offer an ability to update any details for an existing android app.
There is a section for setting the version of an Android app when adding a new one, but there is no way to add a URL for the manifest path, thus this cannot be used for automated uploads

version | String | Optional. | The version of the app |
I would love a way to automate this, or APK uploads, but this feels like the smallest change so I am requesting this.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
