Question

I am working for a software company, which is currently thinking about cooperating with MobileIron or possibly AirWatch. Basically my company is building a tool that allows people to create apps and we’d like to give users a “one click publish” to MDM products like MobileIron and AirWatch. I’m wondering if there’s a way to connect the two systems to make this possible. For example, is there specific data we need to send with the app file to Mobile Iron or AirWatch?

A use case would be:

1. I create my app in my creation tool.
2. When I’m done I click a “publish” button.
3. The app is automatically saved up to the MDM.
4. The MDM administrator can use the normal process for that MDM to deploy it to users.

Some words please? Thanks a lot!

I do not know if MDM like MobileIron or AirWatch are doing this kind of links.

I am working on a product, Appaloosa-Store, which provides a way to easily distribute your apps to your users. It is more like MAM than MDM, but we provide security features.

We provide a Jenkins pluggin and an API to automatically deploy your applications on your own private store. Moreover, we can discuss about a custom link between your service and our.

A use case would be:

1. Create the app
2. Give your store token (from Appaloosa-Store)
3. Click on publish
4. The app is automatically published on Appaloosa-Store
5. Administrator can use the normal process to deploy it to users
