How can I silently push an apk and get it installe

问题:

I am trying to push an APK to the device and get it installed by Android device policy (Device owner) rather than pushing application from play store.

I am able to push applications that are available on play store using device policy

---

{
  "packageName": string,
  "installType": enum(InstallType),
  "lockTaskAllowed": boolean,
  "defaultPermissionPolicy": enum(PermissionPolicy),
  "permissionGrants": [
    {
      object(PermissionGrant)
    }
  ],
  "managedConfiguration": {
    object
  },
  "disabled": boolean,
  "minimumVersionCode": number,
  "delegatedScopes": [
    enum(DelegatedScope)
  ],
  "managedConfigurationTemplate": {
    object(ManagedConfigurationTemplate)
  }
}

Is there any way I can push an APK to the device and get it installed by android device policy ?

It's not possible to use the Android Management API to install an APK that is not in Play.

However you can publish your app in Play and restrict it to one or more enterprises, this way your app won't be visible publicly. This is also explained here in the documentation of the Android Management API.
