FortiToken Distribution To Android Phones

We've got around 60+ devices to enrol with the FortiToken app and would like to distribute via our MDM solution. To avoid each device requiring access to the app store and having a google account we would need the apk file.

 

Has anyone done this before and what is the safest way of extracting the apk file?

 

Thanks

    To safely extract the FortiToken APK for distribution via your MDM solution, you can first attempt to contact Fortinet's support or check their official documentation. They may provide a secure way to download the APK for enterprise use. Extracting APKs directly from a device, while possible using tools like ADB, comes with risks, including potential malware or security issues. Using official channels ensures that the APK is legitimate and up-to-date.

    You could also explore enterprise app management solutions that might allow you to sideload APKs securely without requiring Google accounts on each device.
