## What

This notice explains that Android device management pre-EMM, also known as APK delivery, was deprecated as of FileWave v14.9.0.

## When/Why

Android EMM is the replacement for the much older method of managing Android devices. This change does not affect environments that already manage Android devices with Android EMM in FileWave.

## How

FileWave v14.9.0 was released in November 2022, and the pre-EMM APK delivery function was removed in FileWave 15.2.0. Use Android EMM for current Android enrollment and app-management workflows.
