Creating an app bundle

App bundles are a group of individual apps that you bundle together and load in the App Catalog.

You must have at least one app in each app bundle.
Note: If you want to create a bundle of Android Enterprise apps, you must first approve the apps in Google Play before you can create the bundle in MaaS360®.
