Is there any way to disable Google Play Protect (GPP) during QR code enrollment to avoid blocking an MDM app?
Just to mention, more information on this update can be found in the AE Partner Portal for partners and the Help Center articles have been updated. Please let me know jasonbayton if you feel we should highlight this further or in a different manner. It will be useful feedback.
HeadwindMDM do you have access to the Partner Portal?
Sure, most of the complaints I've seen aren't coming from already-approved partners.
Slipping in a help centre article and hoping folks stumble to it after whatever amount of damage this does to their business is unpleasant. There was no blog.google "tightening requirements on custom DPCs", no customer community announcement I saw.. so only those least likely to be impacted by this (existing partners) were proactively informed ahead of time I guess? If that's not the case my mistake, but Headwind here has struggled for most of the year after the change, I'm sure a pre-emptive Google play developer alert based on apps with the same flags it's using to block apps would have saved a lot of headaches (again if it did that then I'm mistaken).
Otherwise much more could have been done without impacting people's livelihoods here. Blimey Google has given Device Admin vendors 7 years and counting to migrate, PlayEMM... 5 years and counting? This feels like an overnight change by comparison
