89 TopicsUrgent: No response on AMAPI Quota Increase Request after 7 days (Project ID: [zztcdc])
Hello Android Enterprise Community, I am reaching out to seek assistance regarding a quota increase request for the Android Management API. The Issue: Our project has reached its current AMAPI quota limit, which is now impacting our production environment and device deployment. We submitted the official [Quota Increase Request Form] exactly 7 days ago, but we have not yet received any response or confirmation from the Google support team. Project Details: Project ID: [zztcdc] Impact: We are currently unable to enroll new devices or sync policies for our enterprise clients, causing a significant disruption to our business operations. We understand that these requests take time to review, but given the 7-day silence and the critical nature of our deployment, we would greatly appreciate it if any community manager or Google representative could help check the status of our request or escalate it. Thank you for your time and help!

Hi everyone, I’m building an Android Enterprise device management solution and I want to keep everything fully compliant (Android Enterprise + Google Play policies). Use case: a company provides company-owned devices to customers under a leasing / device financing contract. We need to manage this at scale (10,000+ devices) across multiple customers/tenants. If a customer becomes delinquent, the company needs a temporary restricted mode (e.g., kiosk/limited access) until the account is back in good standing — with clear user notice, grace period, and contractual consent. What we want to control at scale: enrollment, policy assignment, app allow/deny lists, kiosk/lock task mode, updates, compliance reporting, and remote actions aligned with Android Enterprise best practices. Questions: Is this type of “restricted mode for delinquency” considered acceptable in the Android Enterprise ecosystem when devices are Company-Owned (Device Owner) and the policy is transparent/contractual? For 10,000+ devices, what is the recommended architecture: Android Management API (AMAPI) policies only, or a custom DPC (and why)? For distribution, is the safest path a managed Google Play private app per enterprise/tenant, or another approved approach for large-scale deployments? Any best practices to avoid being flagged by Play Protect / Play policy reviews for legitimate enterprise enforcement features (kiosk, app restrictions, device restrictions), especially at this scale? I’m not looking to bypass security or do anything hidden; the goal is a compliant enterprise solution. Thanks for any guidance or official documentation links.Solved117Views0likes8CommentsAndroid Enterprise Expert Certification
Hey, Not sure if this is at all correct place to address this, but once again when I started to do the renewal for Android Enterprise Expert certification, I though that I would want to ensure the Android Academy is still the correct place to do these, as the material is seriously outdated, even it still factually largely applies, it still seems frankly dumb to read upon features that came out with Android 5.1 - 8.1, and obtain a certification by that way. Also the session that can be enrolled via the portal, are still titled that what is new on Android in 2025, though the session is for this year. If someone has some knowledge of the above would appreciate any info as had to dig abit via various contacts to get info of this community site.Solved112Views0likes4CommentsClarification on DPC Policy
After numerous support tickets saying Google Play Protect has blocked our DPC app from being installed with the QR code I found this site and from what I understand there was a change at the start of this month that was only advertised to Google Enterprise Partners regarding who can use QR code enrollment and other Android APIs in their app. Applied for EMM/DPC account twice and each time less than 12 hours later denied with "On reviewing the information that you have submitted in your application, your organization does not meet the requirements to enter the community." I have explained that we have contracts with companies (which we are now in breach of) and are in talks with the Military for a custom DPC solution. RRiVEN LLC has been a company since 2011 and our DUNS profile reflects that. I have read https://developers.google.com/android/management/permissible-usage https://developers.google.com/android/play-protect/warning-dev-guidance#android_enterprise_dpc_enrollment and https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/16694822 We are not a financing solution, we are not for monitoring or eavesdropping, and we don't install apps/services on devices. Unsure why our application keeps getting denied. Like most major changes the Android Enterprise team has handled this poorly and as you can see from all the posts this is impacting a large number of people. If there is an aspect we need to change about our app we are open to making that change but we don't know why we are getting denied. We need any help we can get before we are sued for breach of contract.

Hello All, I am looking for advice, tips, suggestions, or helpful info, to begin a career/ journey into the world of Mobile Cyber Security and Tech. My interest was sparked after multiple hacking events that were very damaging to my life, my digital life, my work life, my relationships, my mental, physical, and emotional health, my data, information, and intellectual property of my business, and more. Now I am being pulled to learn how to protect myself first, and second so that I may be able to help others. I guess Ethical Hacking is the term. Any info helps.

So, we were developing our EMM solution (almost done), and now for deployment purposes, we had to apply for an initial quota via the form. apparently we got a rejection email, stating the use case violates the permissible usages which i've ready and doesnt look like we do. I'd like to reach out to those folks (or if someone can help me connect to them) and try to understand their POV and clarify in case of any mis-phrasing from my side (since english isn't my first language) Regards, Rino JamesSolved56Views1like3CommentsAccent on french keyboard has changed in Android 15 (and also 16)
Hello, Since android 15, some characters are not taken into account correctly. For example the tilde character is showned on top if you use an external keyboard (Alt Gr + "é") and is showned on the middle of the character if you use the onscreen keyboard. Example in android 16 (but 15 seems to be the same): On external keyboard: "˜" On onscreen keyboard: "~" In our barcodes we sometimes use this character and thus it is an issue after updating to Android 15 the devices in production. does other French people see this or any character change ? (It seems the "¨" also changed) Lizzie , is there someone in your contacts we can discuss / exchange with on this topic ?122Views0likes4CommentsUpdating the Device Art Generator (Device Frame)
The Device art generator is a great tool for people who don’t want to install Android Studio just to take some framed screenshots for documentation use. There are third-party apps that can do this too (Snapmod), but I was wondering if the developers at Google could give the Device art generator some well-deserved love and update it to include Pixel 10 frames? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I’m testing the setup (enrollment) of a Device Owner / Fully Managed Android device, and I’ve run into a question about restoring data. When setting up a personal Android device, you typically get the option to sign in with a Google account and restore apps/data from a backup. However, when I try this on my test device with the fully managed (Device Owner) enrollment flow, it goes straight into the MDM provisioning process. I don’t see the Google sign-in page or any option to restore data from my Google backup. My questions: Is this the expected behaviour for Device Owner (fully managed) setups? Are there any official guides or best practices for restoring user data in this scenario (if supported)? Thanks in advance for any guidance or documentation links!186Views0likes3CommentsStruggling with Google EMM Partner Application No Clear Reasons for Rejection
Hi everyone, I’m feeling very disappointed and need some help here. We’ve invested significant time and effort into building an EMM solution that aligns fully with Google’s own guidelines: Built according to Android Enterprise requirements Obtained Expert certification for our team Have clients ready to onboard devices immediately Despite doing all of the above, our application keeps getting rejected with the reason: “Doesn’t Meet Program Requirements.” The problem is, there’s no clear reason provided for rejection. Without clarity, there’s no way to improve or move forward. Google has a 500 device limit before allowing scaling, but without program approval, our clients may suffer. We have already done certifications, built the platform, and proven readiness. Our TESTING PLATFORM is live. At this point, I honestly don’t know what else can be done. If there’s no path forward and no constructive guidance, I may be forced to open-source the entire project on GitHub and advise new developers not to invest effort into building an Android EMM solution, because the barriers are too high and unclear. I still want to find a way to bring this product to market but right now, the lack of transparency and guidance is extremely discouraging. Has anyone else faced this? How did you get clarity or escalate the case with Google? Any advice would be deeply appreciated.
