Massive thanks, Android Enterprise Customer Community Team Previous update:Solved27KViews7likes53CommentsNot able to print from Google Docs
Hi all, we provided Google docs, sheets and slides to our devices. We set managed app config (allow of using printing api and usage without Google account). We noticed now that printing is possible on sheets and slides but not on docs. Is there any known issue rgarding this? I mean I'm a bit confused because it works from the other two. Maybe Lizzie and ReeceK you kno more about that or can ask internally?17KViews0likes36CommentsHow to manage app using Intune
I want some suggestions on how to manage applications in our workplace. We purchased an Android app for our employees to work in the warehouse. The vendor provides two methods of getting the app to our devices. One is to download it directly from the Play Store, and the other is from the vendor's website. When something is broken, the vendor will roll back by uploading the new version of the app to the Play Store if the problem is informed on time. Sometimes, we have to go to the download site to download the previous version to solve the immediate issue due to the time zone difference. There, we want to manage the app using Intune. We want to deploy the apk directly to the device using Line Of Business. However, it only works if we enrolled devices using Device Administrator. Unfortunately, it is impossible now since Intune has stopped supporting this enrollment type. If we use the Play Stores managed private app to upload the apk, it would get an error with the package name. We do not think that the vendor will build different package names for every customer. So here is my question: How could we achieve something we achieved in the past and now we cannot? Intune said it is the change that Google made due to security reasons. Any suggestion would be much appreciated!!!8.5KViews0likes10CommentsGmail "allow_unmanaged_accounts" restriction issue
I'm trying to configure Gmail via managed configuration. I discovered that inside the apk there is a bool restriction "allow_unmanaged_accounts" (Allow Unmanaged Accounts), but it is not mentioned in the documentation (https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/7065453?sjid=7171601269613811155-EU). Setting the value does not affect the operation of the application in any way. I would like to understand whether this limitation is supported or not?Solved6.8KViews1like11Commentsblokking apps on private section using COPE profile with Intune
We have a use case where we use Android devices that are corporate-owned but also personally-enabled. Within our ogranisation, we want the capability to trace and block apps. However, this is currently not possible because the apps are installed in the private section. Is there a way to achieve this in the private section? We are using Microsoft Intune as our MDM (Mobile Device Management) environment.6.3KViews0likes9CommentsTesting Apps on BYOD Work Profile
We are a game app development company and we use both company-owned and personally owned devices (BYOD) to test our apps. We have been managing BYOD as Android device administrator, but recently migrated to Android Enterprise. The Android Enterprise BYOD work profile does not allow app installation from anything other than managed google play, so we are unable to install apps from Firebase App Distribution or Microsoft App Center, which we have been using to test apps. We tried uploading the app to Managed Google Play, but it was not sufficient for testing, as had to update the version code after each upload, and past versions could not be installed, and it took longer (than before) for the updates to take effect (Also, the app must be uploaded as a production version and cannot be used for internal test). What we would like to know is how to test the app in the Android Enterprise BYOD work profile (as we have done in the past); it would be great if we could install the app from Firebase App Distribution, or use Google Play's internal app sharing (not available right now) would be fine. Does anyone have any ideas? Or are there any plans for improvements on the Android Enterprise roadmap?4.7KViews0likes8CommentsAuto Launch Android App when deployed from MDM(Google Workspace etc)
Hi Folks, I am focused on to auto-launch my app upon installation when deployed from MDMs, to set up and sync with servers. But I can not find a way to do so. I am curious if there is any way to achieve this by any exclusive support for auto-launch by Android Enterprise programmatically. A few MDMs provide this auto-launch feature. Any kind of help is appreciated. Thanks.Solved3.7KViews1like2CommentsWiFi connection and Kiosk mode
Hello world! I'm managing some devices through Android Management as device owner, in kiosk mode, running an app I developed in Flutter. I need to list all nearby wifi connections and I succeeded using a specific library, but when I try to connect and save the network on the device It fails: in development mode I get the opening of a system modal for saving the network instances, while in Kiosk mode it totally doesn't work. Any ideas?3.7KViews0likes2CommentsSetting UntrustedAppsPolicy to DISALLOW_INSTALL does not prevent app installs
We have devices provisioned on an Android Enterprise policy where the AdvancedSecurityOverrides.UntrustedAppsPolicy is set to DISALLOW_INSTALL, but users are still able to download APKs via browser and install them. Is there another setting that someone is aware of that would prevent this behavior? Thanks all.3.6KViews0likes9CommentsPersistent preferred activity
I have implemented a function in my Android app to set Brave browser as the default browser using the provided code snippet. However, when I click on a link, it still opens in Chrome instead of Brave. Could you please review the code snippet below and let me know if there's anything I am doing wrong? private fun setBraveAsDefaultBrowser() { val filter = IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_VIEW) filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE) filter.addDataScheme("http") filter.addDataScheme("https") val defaultBrowser: ComponentName = packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.brave.browser")?.component ?: return dpm.addPersistentPreferredActivity( AdminReceiver.componentName, filter, defaultBrowser ) } I have used addPersistentPreferredActivity()3KViews0likes5Comments
