Use for: Enroll a new enterprise in managed Google Play, Approve a managed Google Play app for distribution, Push a web app shortcut to all corporate devices, Assign a paid app license to a specific user

Not supported: Does not handle device policy enforcement, in-app billing, or app build publishing — use for managed Google Play app distribution and EMM operations only.

The Google Play EMM API lets enterprise mobility management providers deploy, license, and manage apps on Android Enterprise devices. EMM partners use it to enroll enterprises, distribute managed Google Play apps, push web apps, manage app permissions and licenses, and configure managed device policies. The API also covers store layouts, product approvals, service accounts, and notification pulls for near-real-time device state updates.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Google Play EMM API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Managed app distribution to corporate devices

EMM admins approve apps in managed Google Play, assign them to user groups, and push installs to enrolled devices. The API exposes products, entitlements, installs, and managed configurations so the EMM can keep app state synchronized across the enterprise without manual side-loading.

Approve product app:com.example.crm for enterprise E-1234 and create installs for every device in user group G-789.

Web app shortcuts for the managed Play Store

IT teams publish branded web shortcuts (PWA-style links) into the managed Play Store so end users can launch internal tools without sideloading. The webapps endpoints handle creation, icon upload, and update, and the shortcuts then appear in users' managed Play.

Create a web app titled 'Internal Wiki' pointing to https://wiki.example.com under enterprise E-1234 and assign it to all users.

Notification-driven device state sync

EMM backends call pullNotificationSet on a regular cadence to receive batched events about new device registrations, install completions, and product approvals. This avoids polling individual device endpoints and keeps the EMM's view of the fleet current without burning quota.

Call pullNotificationSet for enterprise E-1234, then acknowledge the returned notification set ID.

AI agent EMM operations through Jentic

An AI agent acting as a Tier-1 EMM admin handles repetitive provisioning tasks (enrolling new users, approving requested apps, fixing failed installs) by searching Jentic for the operation, loading the schema, and executing the call. The agent never needs the underlying service account key.

Find every install in state 'installError' for enterprise E-1234 and re-issue the install command for each one.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

EMM service account credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents call operations through Jentic and receive a scoped access token without the raw service account JSON ever entering the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with phrases like 'approve managed google play app' or 'pull device notifications' and Jentic returns the matching operation and its input schema so the agent does not need to navigate the EMM API reference.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 5-10 days to set up the EMM partner workflow, service account, notification polling, and error recovery. Through Jentic: under one hour to start running approve, install, and notification-pull operations.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Android Management API

Newer Google-hosted EMM that replaces self-hosted EMM partners for many use cases.

Choose Android Management when building a new EMM solution; choose Google Play EMM when integrating with an existing self-hosted EMM partner.

Complementary

Android Device Provisioning Partner API

Claims Android devices for zero-touch enrollment before they reach the EMM.

Use Device Provisioning to register devices to a customer; use the Play EMM API to manage apps once devices are enrolled.

Complementary

Google Play Android Developer API

Publishes the apps that are then distributed via managed Google Play.

Use the Publisher API to upload and release the app build; use the EMM API to distribute the released app to managed devices.

FAQs

Specific to using Google Play EMM API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Google Play EMM API use?

It uses OAuth 2.0, typically with a service account that has been authorized for the enterprise. Through Jentic the service account JSON is stored encrypted in the vault and exchanged for a scoped access token at call time.

Can I push web app shortcuts with this API?

Yes. The webapps endpoints under /androidenterprise/v1/enterprises/{enterpriseId}/webApps let you create, list, update, and delete web app shortcuts that appear in the managed Play Store.

What are the rate limits for the Google Play EMM API?

Google enforces per-project quotas in the Cloud Console. Notification-based endpoints (pullNotificationSet) are designed for steady polling and have higher effective throughput than per-device polling, so prefer them for fleet-wide state sync.

How do I approve and assign a managed Google Play app through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'approve managed google play app', load the schema for products.approve, and execute it with the enterpriseId and productId. Then call entitlements.update or installs.update through Jentic to assign the app to users or devices.

Is the Google Play EMM API free?

The API itself is free for approved EMM partners. App licensing costs (for paid apps) flow through entitlements, not the API surface. EMM partner approval is required before the endpoints become callable.

How do I detect failed installs across the enterprise?

Pull a notification set with installs.pullNotificationSet, filter for installs whose installState indicates failure, and re-issue installs.update for those device and product pairs.
