Ship android device with pre installed app from Google Play [migrated]
We develop an Android app that is meant to run on tablets in restaurant environments. We use standard Samsung Galaxy tablets that we ship to our customers with some custom settings:
- Pre-install our app
- Change background image
To install the app from Google Play, we have to create a Google Account for them. This process is today very manual and requires us to go through the Google Account signup process for each device. We often get rate-limited and Google keep blocking our mobile phone numbers for account activation. So this is a big issue for us.
How can we solve this? To retain a good user experience, we have to install the app on the tablet before shipping it. Changing the background image is something we could live without. We are developers and can definitely do whatever we need.
