Private app package name already in use
I got an APK from our Digital Signage vendor Poppulo (formerly known as Four Winds Interactive) and tried to upload it as a private Google Play app through the iframe in Intune. Got this error: From reading this article Best practices for private apps, I understand package names must be globally unique which makes sense. I am guessing that some other org already uploaded the same package that I have and now they are essentially the only ones that can use it.... I definitely think this is Poppulo's fault and honestly I think it's kind of wild they don't just publish this app in the Google Play Store. Especially given they are such a big company and a very popular choice for digital signage. Regardless, I am curious if anyone else has ran into this problem before and if there is any sort of workarounds. It's my first time deploying a custom app and I've only just now realized that Intune's Line-of-business (LOB) app mode that lets you upload APKs is not allowed on devices managed with Android Enterprise. Meaning Google Play private apps are my only method of uploading and deploying a custom APK.
Can not login with Googleworkspace account under ristricting Poersonal google account on Intune
I am considering the introduction of Android Enterprise in my company and am testing the distribution of configuration policies from Intune. The enrollment profile is set to COBO (Android Enterprise corporate owned fully managed). I do not want users to log in with their personal Google accounts, so I want them to log in to apps like Google Meet with the Google Workspace account managed by the company. However, when I set the "Restrict personal accounts" policy in Intune to block, no Google accounts can be added at all. Conversely, if I disable this setting, both personal and Google Workspace accounts can be logged in. Does anyone know a solution to this?
Issue with Web Token in Google Managed Play JavaScript API
Hi everyone, We’re using the Managed Google Play JavaScript API to generate a Web UI by passing the web token obtained from Enterprises.createWebToken. However, we are encountering issues when trying to use the token in the iframe. According to the documentation ( https://developers.google.com/android/work/play/emm-api/managed-play-iframe ) , all pages in the iframe should be enabled by default. But in our case, the expected functionality is not working as intended. Has anyone else facing similar issues with the web token? Are there any known limitations or recent changes that might affect this?
Unable to start AE (Android Enterprise) Enrollment in Microsoft Intune MDM
We are currently using Microsoft Intune Mobile Device management solution to manage Android mobile devices, and these devices are currently enrolled in the mode of Android Device Administrator in Microsoft Intune. Google has deprecated Android device administrator management, continues to remove management capabilities, and no longer provides fixes or improvements. Intune will be ending support for Android device administrator management on devices with access to Google Mobile Services GMS beginning December 31, 2024. Hence, we're trying to setup Android Enterprise method of enrollment in Microsoft Intune. As part of pre-requisites in Intune, it's essential to connect Microsoft Intune account to managed Google play account. As per Microsoft recommendation, we are using Microsoft Entra account to connect to Google Play. After entering the Entra account username & password, authentication is redirecting to Google sign-in page and ending with below error. Someone at ABCD.com domain has already signed up Microsoft Intune Reference Article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/enrollment/connect-intune-android-enterprise#connect-accounts Note: ABCD.com should be referred as domain name registered & verified in Microsoft Entra.

Can't install app error on many devices
Hello everyone, Since more or less a month, lot of people in our company are getting "can't install app" error from play store, the common case is just after enrolled the device try to install all auto apps from mdm but sadly get this error for the most of apps... some device just move on and install after some minutes, others stay with the error and never install the apps. We got other cases where people can't install the app from play store with no reason. It happens on COPE devices but on fully managed too. Any idea of what's happening here?OnePlus 13 not listed in the AER(Android Enterprise Recommended) devices
Hello Everyone, I've noticed that the OnePlus 13 is not included in the Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) devices list, which can be found here: https://androidenterprisepartners.withgoogle.com/devices/#!?search=Oneplus. While the OnePlus 12 is currently listed, I'm curious to know when the OnePlus 13 might be added. My work profile on the OnePlus 13 was functioning properly for the past three weeks but has suddenly stopped working today. I discovered that the absence of the OnePlus 13 from the AER list could be the cause, although I'm puzzled as to why there were no issues until now. Could someone provide insight into whether the OnePlus 13 will be added to the AER list in the near future? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Silent installation of applications on TELPO devices using Android Enterprise
I have an Android application that I want to use on TELPO devices, but in a way that updates are downloaded silently on the device, meaning the user does not have to intervene to update or install an application. I understand that with the configurations offered by Android Enterprise, it is possible to set up a device to allow the actions I require.Android for digital signage?
Does anyone have any experience using Android for digital signage? We currently use Dell Optiplexes running Windows in kiosk mode with the Poppulo (formerly known as Four Winds Interactive) app but the machines are: Costly Overpowered for what we need Purchased on a 4-year lease cycle Pain in the butt to manage Windows kiosk mode Poppulo also provides an Android app to run the digital signage but I am struggling to find many options for hardware. They suggest using a modified Amazon Fire Stick but in our testing they don't work great. I also came across the Elo Backpack 4 for Android which looks fantastic and just what we need except the you have to buy a subscription to get only 4 years of OS and security updates. We are also looking into running Android on a Raspberry Pi but that would have to be open source and might be kinda janky. Plus, no guaranteed security updates. I thought it would be easier to find just a stick or a box with Android on it but that seems to be proving difficult. It's especially difficult to find one that supports Android Enterprise. Wondering what other orgs doing for digital signage. Thanks!
