Application Deployment
This section provides an overview of device security, app development, andapp management. It also
provides instructions for installing apps and updating the device software.
Android Security
The device implements a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to
run and, if allowed, with what level of trust. To develop an application, you must know the security
configuration of the device, and how to sign an application with the appropriate certificate to allow the
application to run (and to run with the needed level of trust).
NOTE: Ensure the date is set correctly before installing certificates or when accessing secure
web sites.
Secure Certificates
If the VPN or Wi-Fi networks rely on secure certificates, obtain the certificates and store them in the
device’s secure credential storage, before configuring access to the VPN or Wi-Fi networks.
If downloading the certificates from a web site, set a password for the credential storage. The device
supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12 key store files with a .p12 extension (if key store has a .pfx or
other extension, change to .p12).
The device also installs any accompanying private key or certificate authority certificates contained in the
key store.
Installing a Secure Certificate
If required by the VPN or Wi-Fi network, install a secure certificate on the device.
1. Copy the certificate from the host computer to the root of the device’s internal memory. See USB
Communication for information about connecting the device to a host computer and copying files.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Touch Security > Encryption & credentials.
4. Touch Install a certificate.
5. Select the desired certificate type.
6. Navigate to the location of the certificate file.
7. Touch the filename of the certificate to install.
