  • Installing apps from second profile

So, I understand that if I install an app in tha Admin profile I can "push" the app on other user profiles.
But what I'd like to do is install Google Play on a second profile, safely install the apps I need from the Google Store and then "activate" some of those apps also on admin profile without installing Goggle Play in Admin.
Would I be able to do that? I don't want to install another app store so if it's not feasible should I somehow "extract" the apk on the second profile and install it on Admin?

Maybe there's a better way but this works:

adb shell 'pm install-existing --user 0 com.example.app'

    Does anyone know of a more elegant way of doing this? I'd like to achieve the same thing, install apps on a second profile and then "push" them to either the main profile or a different profile.

      schuflai You can do it elegantly from the system user (main profile) to a secondary user. But not from secondary user to another user, for the reason given in the link that Oggyo provided.
