Hi , i ve got a notification to update Meraki system manager app from 5.6.4 to 5.6.6 for Android but devices are not allowed to update it and the notification keep poppin up.

I am leaving a dot, since i have exactly the same question. 🙂 In device i am not allowed to update due restrictions and in managment portal under the device settings any other application has "update" button except Meraki application. 🙂

Hi.

We had the same issue on all Android Phones (Android Version 9, 10, 11 & 12), turns out, you have to allow MERAKI SM app to install Unknown Apps in order to update the MERAKI SM.

1. Go to the Phone Settings

2. Go into Apps

3. Press the three dots in upper right corner

4. Select Special Access

5. Select Install Unknown Apps

6. Allow MERAKI SM to install unknown apps.

7. Exit to start screen

Go into the MERAKI SM app and update the Configuration Page and you should now be prompted to install MERAKI SM update.

Good luck 🙂

When I go to do this, it is greyed out and says Disabled by admin. Did you have to change app permissions or anything?

Create a new profile and add Android Restrictions. Uncheck Prevent installation of apps from unknown sources and push it to your android phone and you should be able to install unknown apps.
