How to publish private apps from google play console for customers, who wants to distribute it using MDM?

Question

I want to distribute my app through google private store to my customers , who want to distribute it using their MDM.

Can I use my developer account and distribute it to the organization using their organization ID ? or Should I use the publishing API and build a custom APK ? When I use this publishing API should I make changes in the application ? How is it done ?

Can anyone help me with suggestions?

Answer 1

You can use your developer account to privately distribute an app to a 3rd party organization. To do so:

1. Ask the organization for their organization ID
2. Add this ID to your app in Pricing & Distribution > User programs > Managed Google Play

More info on Publish private apps from the Play Console.

You don't need to create a custom APK or to use the publishing API.
