Non-compliance issue in app installation

Hey Hexnode Community,  I've got an enrolled device flagged as Non-Compliant, and I think the issue seems to be with one of the Required Apps policy I pushed out.  The app is definitely installed on the device, so I'm confused about why the compliance check is failing. Does anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to clear this compliance status?

IOS Auto App Updates

We would like the feature to allow IOS apps to auto update. The current methods do not work reliably or scale well. We have tried relying on the devices to have the apps auto update and it does not work. Making an app mandatory does work but it is not feasible to scale. We would…

IOS Auto App Updates

We need an auto update feature for non mandatory applications or a way for users to update applications from the app catalog? This is a major pain point from our previous mdm.

Create Shortcut to the Hexnode App Catalog

It is not very intuitive to navigate to the App Catalog created by policy. Essentially you need to know that the catalog is there and how to find it. It would be nice if we could somehow create an icon in the system tray that would go directly to that catalog listing (something like a…
