Installing Google Play on Asus C202S

[gpjt]

Hi all,

 

Spent the best part of the day trying to get the android apps onto the Asus C202S. They are now in stable mode, so i'm told, but the Google Play store doesn't appear on the Chromebooks.

 

I believe that i've allowed the Android services in all the correct places and approved the apps i want to install. This was all pretty much following these instructions.

 

Can anyone point me in the direction where i can get some Android apps on the devices please?

Hi,

 

You need to migrate the user profiles filesystem. The details are here: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7476274?hl=en. It's basically just a user setting in the admin console and if you don't allow users to save data on the devices themselves, should be fairly straightforward.

Already enabled that via the admin console, but can't see anything applying or making any difference.

Update to the thread.

 

Managed to get the play store onto the device now and think it's just our filtering that is blocking the downloading of the app. Works fine from my mobile hotspot.

 

The final thing i had to change in the admin console so that the Google play store would install was the users data setting setting it to NOT delete the users local user data when the user logged off. Did a policy reload and logged off and on for the store to install

The setting is found in device management>chrome management>Device and under the sign in settings.
