Widgets on COPE - MS Intune
Hi GMenzies jasonbayton Lizzie Moombas
Finally there is a solution to get widgets available on COPE enrolled devices.
To enable widgets to a specific application, you need to utilize this policy (addCrossProfileWidgetProvider), and make sure to add the package name of the application (for example com.microsoft.office.outlook) that you want to enable its widgets in the parameters.
Please contact your MDM vendor (our case MS Intune) and raise a request to implement this API if they haven't done so already.
We will test this asap once we get the API implemented by Intune folks. Keep you posted....
Google engineers have tested it using testDPC and it works.

Configuration:

It says it was added as part of API 21, is it just laziness from MS or is it supported for devices from API 21.
I will also raise a ticket to Microsoft.

I got the info from Microsoft yesterday: "At the moment it’s not possible but let me ask our Intune PG if there is anything on the Roadmap or if we need to raise a DCR or similar."
I replied to them since we have had case opened to them about this 2 years for now. I think they will take this seriously now.... I'll keep you posted..thanks

Haha, love this thread and the answers from microsoft support / PG 🙃
Our DCR dates back to November 2021. 3 years, happy birthday DCR with MSFT 😁

Is there a DCR identifier/number we can reference? We would push for this as well; our prior MDM provider did support this for COPE. A lot of little annoyances we're finding day-to-day vs the prior MDM... *sigh*

Anyone with any news, I did file a case but we have recently ended our premium support agreement with Microsoft so we are not allowed to file a DCR request anymore.

Hi Jarmo - any news on this? Can you share any DCR identifier (haven't filed one of these before)? I reached out to our MS contacts for update, but I think it would help if I can leverage an existing DCR as reference, or to add our "support" to it.
Thank you for pushing for this!- jarmo_akkanen4 months agoLevel 2.0: Eclair
