Re: Organization reached its usage limits, your work profile can't be set up.
Goog can take a while to respond to queries, I waited some time recently for a different form. If you have access to the partner portal you could try raising with PED, but otherwise I imagine the gang here will suggest waiting a little longer before escalating42Views0likes0CommentsRe: Merger of ChromeOS and Android
It's a valid point.. I'm not so sure things would be seamless at the moment. Android has pretty strict requirements on SOC and many existing Chromebooks are running on older (though well-established) standardised hardware. Does Google build out a custom implementation of Android that works with these for the purpose of migrating they then have to maintain.. or do they remain for their support windows on ChromeOS and ChrAndroid only launches with new models? I'd expect the latter.. though I'd imagine they're putting requirements in place for hardware vendors already so we'll see.10Views0likes0CommentsRe: Play Store number of downloads counter
The lack of insight should really be handled by the dev with their own analytics Absolutely not. Unless we're removing insights for everyone. These aren't anonymous downloads in the way an APK has been pulled through some private API, they're Google-generated and managed work accounts running in Google-managed enterprises; Google can and should be identifying them as such. No one's debating absolute accuracy, but an indication of use should be a given. Especially considering how much emphasis is put on analytics, showing right on the console dashboard for every app.19Views0likes2CommentsRe: Device Owner Provisioning
All Android devices have integrated management APIs, solutions like AMAPI offer a layer over this to manage devices via their own DPC, but nothing stops you building your own. The only note is access to the APIs needed to pull an app from the play store have been removed for custom DPCs, so in your use case you'd deliver your APK(s) directly, and then leverage the on-Device APIs to set kiosk and related policies yourself. You'll be responsible for the device communication between your servers and the DPC, but otherwise you should be able to build something that achieves your goals without using a 3rd party.. though as I said AOSP MDMs exist with APK deployment if you don't want to roll your own.31Views1like0CommentsRe: Play Store number of downloads counter
That's helpful technically explaining the cause, that doesn't help developers gain insight into their install base though. Can we see some change here to help? As an example I've got almost 2k active installs on my app, but play shows... 45. 45. If I were using play alone to track this, I'd have thrown the app in the bin a year ago as a failed project.52Views0likes10CommentsRe: Device Owner Provisioning
Howdy, Do your boxes have GMS - Google services? If so you can use any open market MDM solution to enrol and manage devices. If you don't have GMS, the Android Management API won't be supported, but you can either use an MDM on the market supporting AOSP (no Google services), or build yourself a DPC, device policy controller. Capabilities you're after are supported by many platforms, there's nothing complex there. Note the suggestion to just use the Android management API directly (if you have GMS) goes against permissible usage unless you also plan to sell your platform to the ecosystem.44Views3likes3CommentsRe: Application report not getting collected on Xiaomi mix fold devices
This should be picked up by Google. It's ADP failing to fetch the application list. AMAPI is not limited strictly to supporting AER devices and clearly there's a 6-month issue with the app going unfixed. Prathik this could also go in via PED, if you or the vendor you use is in the partner portal. A few but reports and raising it as a ADP bug there may help.21Views0likes0CommentsRe: [PRODUCT UPDATE] Zero-touch enhancement: New admin controls
This looks like a comprehensive baseline to start from, and I think it logically separates the tiered support & access levels in bigger orgs, so no qualms. If I were to nitpick I'd ask why managers can't remove devices or handle resellers, but it looks like a small bump over assigner just to look after configurations so that makes sense. Admins I'd ask why they've been excluded from ZT and TOS. TOS I suppose you could argue.. but linking ZT feels like an admin task since they can do everything else with devices. Either way, this solves a need. Thank you!272Views4likes0Comments
