  • Required Apps 

The apps listed here are required for the app version in question to be fully functional.

If a required app is mentioned just as a name, any version of that app is sufficient.
If a specific version is mentioned, the required app is needed in that version.
If a max-value is given, the required app is needed in a version below that value.
If a min-value is given, the required app is needed in a version above that value.

If the admin does not actively assign a version of the required app to the device, the device will try to calculate the necessary version, and the required app will be installed in that version.

  • Possible Conflicts

The apps listed here cannot be installed on the device at the same time as the app version in question.

If a conflicted app is mentioned just as a name, no version of that app can be installed at the same time.
If a specific version is mentioned, only this version of the app cannot be installed at the same time.
If a max-value is given, the app cannot be installed in a version below that value.
If a min-value is given, the app cannot be installed in a version above that value.
