Frequently Asked Questions
What is AppConfig and why is it used for PDF apps?
AppConfig is a standard approach for configuring and securing mobile apps in the enterprise. It allows administrators to automatically push settings, such as security policies and server configurations, to PDF readers on managed iOS and Android devices.
Does AppConfig work with both iOS and Android platforms?
Yes, AppConfig is supported natively by both Apple's iOS (via Managed App Configuration) and Google's Android Enterprise, allowing cross-platform deployment of applications through compliant EMM providers.
Why are my AppConfig settings not applying to user devices?
This typically happens if the EMM platform is not properly synced, the user's device has not fetched the latest policy, or there is a typo in the XML/Key-Value configuration. Verify your EMM settings and consult the specific AppConfig schema for the deployed mobile app.
