How to Set Up Automatic AppSpace Updates (Solutions OTA)

IAdea devices can keep the AppSpace app up to date automatically through Solution OTA. Once it is set up, the device checks for a new AppSpace version during a daily maintenance window and installs it with no manual work.

Requirements

Solution OTA needs firmware that includes Solution Settings. Update the device to at least the version listed below for its model:

• XDS-1078 (Android 7.1): 2.4.0 (Build 158)
• XDS-1078-A12 (Android 12): latest firmware
• WRP-1000 (Android 9): 3.6.0 (Build 158)
• WRP-1000-V2 (Android 12): 4.1.0 (Build 93)
• XMP-8550 / XMP-8552 (Android 12): 4.1.0 (Build 93)

How to open the Solution settings

First, open the device settings using one of these methods:

• IAdeaCare Remote Control: Start a Remote Control session with the device in IAdeaCare, then click the gear button to open the Android settings.
• LAN method: On a computer on the same network as the device, open a web browser and go to https://<device IP>:8080. Replace <device IP> with the device's IP address, for example https://192.168.1.50:8080.
• On-screen: Open the settings directly on the device.

From the Basic Settings page, go to Advanced > Content. Solution and Solution update are listed there alongside AppStart, FailSafe, and USB update.

Step 1: Configure the AppSpace solution

Follow the option that matches how AppSpace was installed on your device.

Option A: AppSpace was installed with the Add-On SKU

1. Go to Solution. The appspace-app solution should already be listed.
2. Expand appspace-app.
3. In the Update URL field, enter the manifest URL:
   https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/updates.digisignage.net/partner-upd/AppSpace/manifest.json
4. Turn on Run on startup to make AppSpace the default content.
5. Click Set.

Option B: AppSpace APK was side-loaded

1. Go to Solution. The appspace-app solution may not be listed.
2. Click Add new…
3. In the Alias field, enter appspace-app.
4. In the Update URL field, enter the manifest URL:
   https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/updates.digisignage.net/partner-upd/AppSpace/manifest.json
5. Turn on Run on startup to make AppSpace the default content.
6. Click Set.

Step 2: Set the daily maintenance window

Automatic updates run only during the daily maintenance window, so this step is required.

1. Go to Solution update.
2. Under Daily maintenance window, enter a start and end time, for example 19:00/08:00.
3. Click Set.

How the maintenance window works:

• Same start and end time (for example, 08:00/08:00): the window is empty and automatic updates are disabled.
• Start time later than end time (for example, 19:00/08:00): the window runs overnight, and the end time falls on the next day.
• End of day: use 24:00 as the end time.

Choose a window outside business hours so updates do not interrupt the display while it is in use.

Verify the setup

Go back to Solution. When setup is complete, appspace-app is marked (default) and shows a READY status with a timestamp.

Notes

• Enter the Alias exactly as appspace-app.
• The device must be able to reach s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. On networks with strict firewall rules, allow HTTPS (port 443) to this host.
