Situation Description

Within the SmartPlayer platform, a new functionality has been introduced that allows users to update applications on Android OS devices directly from the user dashboard.

This functionality is only available for devices running Android OS.

Operation Principle

To use this functionality, the user must first log in to the SmartPlayer dashboard.
Next, the user needs to navigate to the "Devices" section of the dashboard.
