Add an app or signing certificate to the approved app list

To prevent
UEM
 from performing malware scanning for a specific
Android
 app or for all apps that use a developer’s signing certificate, you can add the app or certificate to the approved app list. Note that all apps on the approved app list are also exempt from malware scanning on Android devices.
You cannot add apps or app certificates that have already been added to the restricted app list.
  1. In the management console, on the menu bar, click
    Settings > CylancePROTECT > Approved apps
    .
  2. Click The Edit icon.
  3. Do one of the following:
    Task
    Steps

      • To select an app file, click
        Select an app file
        . Click
        Browse
         and navigate to and select the .apk file. Click
        Upload
