Cannot use Android Management Api

[Conner]

We are developing a Device Management Solution but our customer range strictly forbids the use of google cloud apis which makes the Android Management API not viable for us.

And as creating an own DPC is deprecated/discouraged i am very confused on what the process for achieving our goal is.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Either allow access to Google, or build a custom DPC. If you don't permit access to Google in any way then the deprecation of Play EMM API doesn't matter to you either, you won't be able to manage apps, accounts, or Google services and will have to roll your own infrastructure for deploying APK/AABs, notification/communication channels, etc. All on-device APIs can still be managed.

A custom DPC is not deprecated, just the Play EMM APIs behind it.
