Enhancing Android Enterprise OS Update Management
Hi,
It could and should indeed get some attention to get some improvements. We implement Knox E-FOTA a lot, exactly because of this lack of control on the Android side itself. Zebra and HDM also designed something themselves, but I believe that shouldn't be necessary.
I don't really agree on your BYOD case tough, in theory its still a user owned device. Your EMM should be able to set minimum requirements for software version.
What I really mis is the option to control when and how the update is pushed and installed. A time window, and an option for the end user to postpone ones or twice and than actually update. As a finishing touch, confirmation to the EMM that the firmware is actually installed.
I dont need a confirmation on the EMM (the currently installed oem/os/security patch version is enough) but we really want to say something like, install all oem versions up to version X.
This could be model specific (makes most sense to me) or any other but should be open to the customer what kind of decision point(s) to choose.
