[Guide] How to create Web Applications via AMS?

Web Application is a lightweight web-based solution that offers an app-like experience, featuring their own app icon and the capability to open in full screen. To use Web application, your device must install AirDroid Browser, which is implemented for enhancing compatibility with various websites. It also allows you to access your website on the Website Allowlist in Kiosk. For more details, please refer to this article.

Note: If your config file with Kiosk applied any AirDroid Browser-related features, or you use the Web Apps for the first time, AirDroid Browser should be automatically installed on your devices. It will take several minutes to complete the installation of AirDroid Browser.

If it does not install automatically, please contact us for further assistance. In case you would like to install AirDroid Browser manually for other usages, please refer to the instructions.
