We’ve been trying to make app access feel consistent across devices, but it’s a bit fragmented. iOS users get apps one way, Android users another, and the overall experience just feels different.

Yeah, that split between Apple’s VPP and Managed Google Play doesn’t help. Backend-wise it’s fine, but from a user point of view, it can feel like two completely different systems.

That’s exactly why we stopped relying on the native flow too much. We pushed everything through a single app catalog interface instead, so users don’t really see what’s happening in the backend.

So basically like a common “company app store” kind of setup?

Yeah, exactly that. Whether it’s Android or iOS, they just open the same catalog and install what they need. It removed that “this works differently on my phone” confusion.

We did something similar. Also helped with controlling what apps are visible. Instead of users searching around in different stores, everything they need is just listed in one place.

That actually sounds way cleaner. I guess once the entry point is the same, users don’t really care how apps are being delivered underneath.
