Hello,
We Onboard mobile devices such as Android phones/tablets, Apple phones/tablets, etc.
For Android there is the prerequisite that the QuickConnect app be installed prior to actually starting the Onboard process.
Our Onboard setup uses an 'open' SSID which redirects to a captive portal. From this portal the user can select a link to start the Onboard process (We use this portal for a couple of other things as well). Once the Onboard process is completed they connect to a secure SSID.
If QuickConnect is not already installed on the device then it must be installed. On Android phones this probably won't be a problem because they can just disconnect and use their phones data plan to download the app. For tablets though this could be a problem. When connected to the 'open' SSID there is no Internet connection due to the user role. So using this SSID to download the app isn't possible because when you try and go to the Play store to get the app you get the error "No Connection".
I was just wondering what are the possibilities to get around this? Without opening up the Internet completely. The initial role is restricted to pretty much our Captive Portal and that is it. We would like to keep it that way if at all possible. But we do need to provide an easy way to install the QuickConnect app if it is not already installed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
