It is actually pretty simple when they are directed to download the app the third option in the pull down is local download, and xpressconnect with walk them through enabling unknown source app install.
We are currently using xpressconnect and do not allow them to get to anything but the xpressconnect server. We haven't run into many issues with android users other then student not reading what the page tells them, and that usually goes across all platforms.

Unfortunately, I don't know how common that is (the option about trusting non google apps), or if it's worth having to get those users to follow more steps. I am not an android user, but for people that I have tested this on, they are required to go to Playstore.

You should have three options to download the xpressconnect app from,playstore, amazon app store and locally. The devices will need to have allow apps from unknown sources to be checked off.

Android requires a connection to the Playstore in order to download a cloudpath applet to complete the profile. So, this setup SSID, which was restricted from external connections must be opened up so that these users can download from the Playstore. I have had difficulties in scoping an acceptable IP address range that allows Play connectivity without opening up too much Has someone else out there troubleshooted and configured a good scope for this application you can share? Thanks!
