Hey HeadwindMDM​,

 

Nice to meet you. Thanks for submitting this via the appeal form, this is the best way to highlight this. As a side note, I've also forwarded on your post here to that team. 

 

I would recommend regularly checking to see if there has been an update in this area. 

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Thanks,

Lizzie

    Lizzie​ Thank you for your response! I found this post and I'm really disappointed by these unexpected restrictions affecting our users unable to enroll hundreds of devices (our team is getting complaints to Play Protect block from about 5 corporate users daily). I have also found this page and submitted a form using my Android Enterprise Partner account.

     

    I would appreciate if you, or the team you mentioned, could provide me (and other banned developers of custom DPCs) with a straightforward way to be whitelisted.

     

    Thank you for your assistance!
