In the section for a managed configuration, there should be a Launcher Configuration URL key and a Launcher Configuration Checksum key.
From the BlueFletch Portal, copy your configuration's URL and checksum from the Enterprise Launcher → Configurations page and paste into the respective fields in your MDM's managed configuration.
Save changes.
Deploy APK/app policy to devices.
Download the launcher.json configuration file from the BlueFletch Portal Enterprise Launcher → Configurations page and then proceed with the ADB commands below.
