Android 15 - Cannot set default password app
It caught half of the ecosystem off guard. 100%
I don't mind giving InTune a pass, since after all Microsoft may not necessarily know what changes Android is making to the Android Management API in advance. Although the current 6-month window for betas of new releases might be enough to at least give them a hint.
Google, on the other hand, probably should have some sort of corporate policy of letting Workspace know when Android is changing the management API that links the two of them together, especially if it's so subtle that the same ridiculously-long beta doesn't turn it up. Maybe the workspace team are all on IOS.
All of this, of course, assumes that the Android team didn't mention this change from "optional" to "mandatory" at all, which frankly I struggle to believe. Maybe they need the Chrome team's view of changes being dogfooded through 8 separate versions' flags. Either way, the whole thing is just ridiculous to me. Especially the part where I was told to just stop using passkeys on my Google Workspace account for a few more months in favour of SMS OTPs. Hence the sarcasm.
