Adding a web app for Android Enterprise

Web apps are website shortcuts that are distributed as Android native apps. You can add and distribute web apps as regular Android apps for Android Enterprise devices from Managed Google Play. The webapps are launched in a browser in the selected display mode with the pre-defined URL target. This feature is supported on all Android Enterprise deployment scenarios: Device Owner (DO), Profile Owner (PO), and Corporate-Owned Single-Use (COSU).
