Managed configuration to Gboard has disappeared from MDM

The ability to apply a managed configuration to Gbaord has disappeared. We think this is due to a recent change to the Gboard app where Google has removed this ability. 

 

 

Environment:

  • MDM = Omnissa Workspace One UEM (we are also hearing reports of this impacting SOTI customers as well)
  • Rugged Zebra Mobile devices, majority running either A11 or A13

Leads:
Managed App configs are still present on Chrome & ServiceNow Now Agent, hence why we believe this is not an MDM Console issue.

 

We have escalated to Omnissa support anyway, who have in turn escalated to Google.

Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Hey @badams1, @AndroidE, @mattdermody, @Stefano, @Magcho, @Alex_Muc, @Moombas, @jeremy, @Flaviano, @Sulander, @Kraeutergarten,

 

I think we have lift off! 😀 🤞🚀

 

A fix has just been pushed for this, it could take a few hours to start coming through on your side, I wondered if you could validate and let me know if you see any change please?

 

Massive thank you for all the feedback you've given this has been really helpful. Looking forward to hearing from you. 

 

Thanks,

Lizzie

Our Omnissa/AirWatch Console is reflecting the change. Our app config options appear restored, so it looks like we're good, thanks!
