We’re excited to introduce a new feature that makes deploying Custom Android Apps easier than ever!

What’s New

🚀 Deploy Apps from App Distribution:

Users can now deploy applications directly from the App Distribution section to Fully Managed Android devices.

🛠️ Assign a Deployed App Build at Policy Level:

To deploy an app using a policy:

1. Go to Policies and select the policy where you want to deploy a Custom App.
2. Navigate to the Apps section.
3. Click + Add App.
4. Select the Applivery tab and choose the app and build you want to deploy.

With this update, you can now distribute custom apps to your Fully Managed Android devices, ensuring your users always have the right builds quickly and reliably.

We’re introducing Activity Trace, a new feature that provides clear visibility into user activity across the platform.

What’s included:

👤 Per-user tracking:

Activity Trace now records the last login and last action for each user.

🌐 Full platform coverage:

Activity is tracked across the Dashboard, SDK, and Enterprise Store, giving you a complete overview of how your team interacts with Applivery.

This improvement helps you monitor engagement, enhance security, and maintain better control over your workspace.

We’re introducing Build Retention, a new feature designed to give you better control over how long your builds remain in Applivery.

Starting January 15, 2026, all workspaces will automatically adopt our new retention policies, ensuring a more efficient and predictable management of storage.

What’s changing?

• 🗂️ New Retention Rules: Builds will no longer be stored indefinitely. Each workspace will follow a retention period based on its subscription plan.
  ​
• 🔐 Unlimited Retention for Enterprise: Enterprise customers may keep unlimited builds indefinitely. This option must be explicitly enabled.

This update helps keep your workspace clean, organized, and optimized — giving you full visibility and control over your stored builds.

👉🏻 For more information or to request Unlimited Retention, please contact your Customer Success Manager.

We’ve added a highly requested capability to help you better control the availability of your app releases: Expiring Publications.

With this new option, you can decide exactly when a publication should stop being available for download — automatically.

What’s new?

Publications now automatically become inactive on the date and time you define.

⚙️ How it works

It’s simple:

1. Open the publication you want to control.
2. Enable the Auto-expire option.
3. Choose the exact date and time when the publication should become inactive.

Once the expiration time is reached, the publication will no longer be accessible in your App Store.

We’ve rolled out powerful new features to help you personalize and control the experience of your managed devices more than ever before.

✨ Visual and Display Configuration

Take full control of how your devices look and feel:

• Set a wallpaper, adjust icon sizes, organize app layouts, and create folders.
• Manage display options, such as keeping the screen always on.
• Define startup apps that automatically launch the first time they’re installed — perfect for initial setup workflows.

🆕 Custom Footer Configuration

You can now add a footer to the Advanced Launcher interface, customizing its text, adjusting font size, and inserting dynamic variables such as the device name, user email, and more.

We’ve listened 👂 and introduced a new feature designed for teams that manage their users through SSO and SCIM.

With this update, you can now:

🚫 Restrict traditional login for everyone except the Workspace Owner (who keeps it as a recovery option).

✅ Keep all authentication flows fully centralized in your IdP.

🔒 Strengthen security and consistency across your organization.

This update provides the flexibility to maintain a recovery path while maintaining strict control over permissions and identity management.

We’re excited to introduce one of the most significant updates to Applivery’s Device Management platform, bringing powerful new capabilities for advanced control, automation, and targeting.

🔓 Interpolation — Now Generally Available

Easily reference and replace dynamic values (like device names, user details, or custom attributes) within your configurations and policies. This allows for more flexible, personalized, and automated deployments.

In addition, there are some awesome new features that are still in Private Access for selected customers on Enterprise plans only:

🛠 Policy Composition

Until now, Applivery only allowed one policy per device, which meant that all settings, apps, restrictions, and properties had to be centralized.
​
Policy Composition allows now to have multiple policies for a single device, each one containing multiple configuration profiles, apps, properties, or certificates, which will allow you to group and prioritize your device settings using weights from 1 to 1000. – for example, a given device can now have 3 policies:

• Policy 1: General restrictions and configurations.
• Policy 2: User-specific configurations.
• Policy 3: Customized configurations based on user and device behaviour.

🎯 Device Audiences

Segment your devices into smart audiences based on device or user properties and metadata such as OS version, device model, enrollment type, or custom attributes. Perfect for targeted deployments and phased rollouts.

⚡ Automation Rules

The perfect companion for Device Audiences. Set up automatic actions triggered by specific events or conditions — for example, automatically applying a new policy when a device joins a certain Device Audience or updating a configuration when a certificate nears expiration.

📜 Advanced Certificate Management

Manage, deploy, and renew digital certificates directly from Applivery, ensuring devices maintain secure access to your corporate resources without manual intervention. This includes a new infrastructure component that will allow you to connect Applivery with your own Certificate provider for automated certificate issuing and renewal.

💡 If you’re an Enterprise plan customer and want early access to these features, please contact your Customer Success Manager to request activation.
