# Install apps from the App Store

> Choose an approved app for your phone and follow its installation result.

Open **Apps** in the Console, choose your phone, then select **Install** on an
available app. The App Store selects an approved build and saves the request.
You can close the page while the server continues checking the installation.

The result becomes **Installed** after a fresh phone inventory confirms that
build. An unconfirmed result holds further installation on that phone while the
server checks the original request. Reopening Apps shows the same saved result.

The CLI, Python SDK and inventory API can read and refresh apps currently
installed on a phone. Inventory can include apps installed through other routes;
it does not require an App Store request to exist.

Customer APK uploads, custom app libraries, and arbitrary URL installation are
retired, including public custom APK job history. Original request recovery and
accepted App Store results remain available.

The CLI and Python SDK support inventory and historical request reads. App Store
installation is available in the Console and through the managed App Store REST
API. Availability depends on the phone's current installation capability and the
approved build being enabled.
