Android enterprise policy - how to use managed play store in Whitelist mode with big number of apps?

Question

I just got to know that we can not use more than 1050 apps in Whitelist mode. When I tried to add 1500 apps, I got an error: too many apps. Maximum allowed 1050, actual 1500 too many apps. Maximum allowed 1050, actual 1500

I know I'll need more apps but can not go in Blacklist mode since we are not allowing apps other than these 1500.

Anyone - any inputs on how to handle this scenario?

example policy:

 { "applications": [ list of 1500 apps ], ... "playStoreMode": "WHITELIST"... }

Answer 1

Unfortunately, currently there is no way to increase the maximum number of apps allowed. However, there is currently a feature request that is filed to change the limit but there is no guarantee when this will be worked on.

I suggest joining the Android Management API mailing list to keep you posted on the latest updates.
