Re: Looking for solutions to assist in Bulk Management (Wipe) of Android Enterprise devices
Oh this is an interesting one. There are a few dedicated folks who may have valid solutions to offer here, but I'd probably look at a small companion app that detects when it's docked to your hub, possibly in combination with a geo policy unless your hubs can be programmed to identify themselves uniquely from other docks, and send a wipe command to omnissa via API.Re: [Feature Focus] Managed Google Domains & Insider Opportunity
This was a great intro on the topic, and has given me a kick up the butt to look further into the EMM-driven account replacements on-device as that comes up pretty often. One thing I'd have liked to see covered here is the BYOD side also, and the automatic WP provisioning on using a managed Google domain account; that'd be a nice followup. Another would be developer-led equivalents of this series which sees an advocate run through the development side of setting up the functionality an EMM would be implementing in a lab.. though appreciate that may be more partner portal content :)Re: [Community Feedback] About our latest watchparty
You know what this highlights Emilie_B .. there's no "made by Google" for AE. Most of the above I would echo, but without a public version of something like the partner summit for AE features.. there are no watch parties to watch. On features, real-time loading of comments and replies. It's too janky now and reloading constantly interrupts the video. It's probably too far-fetched to suggest integrating a chat (like the old phpbb forums, and others) but something closer to that would be cool.Re: Android Developer Verification Requirements in AE
Yes, there's a lot of APK sideloading particularly with smaller companies using AMAPI as we can't still distribute via the EMM platform. I've also seen very rare instances of companies building their own app catalogue app/webapp as a front-end to pull down APKs. One other consideration is apps that self-update via a remote repo. Presumably if an app is installed, any update to the package is automatically permitted? E: Sorry I was thinking of policy-allowlisting and replacement of one package with another using the same pname. This may fix that too in current state, but allowing sideloading here would undo that.Re: Google Play update: new layer of security coming in 2026
This is the best possible news for organisations. Thank you Lizzie, melanie, & team! The extension on public Play Store-hosted applications wasn't on my bingo card but that's fantastic also, and offers orgs more time to work with outside parties that'll drag their feet. You didn't call it out explicitly in the examples, but I'm assuming when AMAPI rolls out support for APK/package manager install support, this also comes under DPC exemption?
