Add
BlackBerry AtHoc
 for Android to the app list if BlackBerry UEM is configured for Android Enterprise devices

If you have configured support for Android Enterprise devices, the connection to Google allows BlackBerry UEM to get app information from Google Play. The connection to Google Play is made directly from the computer that is running the BlackBerry UEM console. If your organization is using a proxy server, you must ensure that no SSL interception occurs. For more information on ports that must be open, visit support.blackberry.com/community to read article 52777. For more information about configuring BlackBerry UEM to support Android Enterprise devices, see "Configuring BlackBerry UEM to support Android Enterprise devices" in the
BlackBerry UEM Configuration Guide
.
If BlackBerry UEM is not configured to support Android Enterprise devices, see Add BlackBerry AtHoc for Android to the app list if BlackBerry UEM is not configured for Android Enterprise devices.
To use Google Play to manage apps in the Samsung KNOX Workspace, devices must have Samsung KNOX 2.7.1 or later installed and you must allow Google Play app management for Samsung KNOX Workspace devices in the activation profile.
In an upcoming release of BlackBerry UEM, the settings applicable to BlackBerry Hub+ and Divide Productivity will be removed from the email profile and will be available only in an app configuration in the app settings. In this release, if you configure app settings in the email profile and in an app configuration, the app configuration takes precedence if both are assigned.
