Hi Guys, I can’t install applications from playstore. I am sure, no other restrictions have been applied via policy. What could be the reason? We do have a firewall setup. Can this block app installation?

Hi, Thanks for posting the query.

Your organization’s firewall may be restricting the access to Google Play Services. Please whitelist the following set of URLs on your firewall in order to install apps from the Google Play Store:
play.googleapis.com
googleusercontent.com
android.clients.google.com
ggpht.com
gvt1.com

Cheers!
