App Configuration - Force Changes

[forrestbeck]

I have an VPP App with some XML App Configuration. I need to make changes to the App Config. Any idea on how to get these changes forced out on devices? It appears that App Config is sent before install.

Looks like he only way is to remove scope (delete app) and add scope back (reinstall app).

Hey @forrestbeck , can you share what app you are configuring? Some apps update in real-time, other apps need to be relaunched if they're implementing AppConfig in particular ways. Delete and reinstall hasn't been required in my experience.

e have a custom In-house app that would support updates to the app configuration on the fly. But we can only update the configuration if we remove and reinstall the app. Is there maybe a way via the api to handle this?

Did you find a solution to your problem? We are trying to update the app configuration without deinstalling the app as well.

There is a feature request that sounds like the functionality we need.
