Bluetooth bonding behaviour, when kioskCustomization.deviceSettings is set to SETTINGS_ACCESS_BLOCKED in android management policy

Hey guys

 

I have developed an app which can turn on and turn off bluetooth as well as change some sound settings of the device. Toggling the bluetooth setting to on / off works fine, as does the different sound settings. The weird behaviour shows up when I try to bond a device. As I described in the title, my policy has the kioskCustomization.deviceSettings flag set to SETTINGS_ACCESS_BLOCKED. With this policy enforced, the bonding process doesnt work with my custom app and also does not work with the official android bluetooth settings (accessed over an intent)

 

I think this is a bug, because the phone can still bond to other devices if other devices advertise themselves to this phone.

 

Can you please help me with this?

 

Regards

Can someone please give me an update on this?

This behaviour is very confusing, either it works or it doesn't but there shouldn't be an inbetween state, where one way it works and another way it doesn't
