How to Use Secure UEM MAM Browser in Android & iOS Apps

Apps may contain links, or try to directly open a browser window to show information to the user. Some browsers could be malicious, or not secure. As such, EMMs usually provide their own secure browser, and enforce using this browser according to its preconfigured DLP policies.

Connect Secure Browser is Appdome’s solution for ensuring EMM DLP policies are enforced when opening browser links on an Appdome fused app. Appdome ensures that for secure policy configurations, links opened through the fused app are opened exclusively by the EMM’s secure browser app. Or are blocked if no such browser exists.

This knowledge Base article provides step-by-step instructions for adding Appdome’s Connect Secure Browser to any iOS and Android mobile app.

Appdome is a no-code mobile app security platform designed to add security features in mobile apps.

Appdome’s no-code mobile app security platform offers mobile developers, DevSec and security professionals a convenient and reliable way to protect Android and iOS apps without coding. When a user clicks “Build My App,” Appdome leverages a microservice architecture filled with 1000s of security plugins, and an adaptive code generation engine that matches the correct required plugins to the development environment, frameworks, and methods in each app.

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites to build secured apps. There is no SDK and no library to manually code or implement in the app. The Appdome technology adds the relevant standards, frameworks, stores, and logic to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.

Likewise, there are no required infrastructure changes or configuration changes required inside the app. The Appdome technology adds any EMM SDK and relevant standards, frameworks, configurations and more to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.

Using Appdome, mobile apps will adhere to your EMM security and connectivity policy as if the EMM SDK was natively coded to the app. Appdome for Enterprise Mobility Management is compatible with mobile apps built in any development environment including Native Android and iOS apps, hybrid apps and non-native apps built in Maui, Xamarin, Cordova, and React Native, Ionic and more. This streamlines implementations, cuts development work, and ensures a guaranteed and consistent integration of any EMM SDK to any mobile app.
