Widgets on COPE - MS Intune
Hey, Unfortunately there are no settings and/or no chance configure Widgets on COPE in MS Intune. There is specific setting in Intune restrictions config profile to allow/disallow Widgets for BYOD method. Is this problem tied only MS Intune or is this something for Google? Majority of our 10k fleet enrolled as COPE and it's a big gap not having widgets available for Work Apps. Thanks JarmoNo Response After Submitting Android Enterprise Contact Form
Dear Android Enterprise Team and Community, I hope you're doing well. I submitted the “Get in touch” form on the Android Enterprise website and received the confirmation email on May 30, which I have already responded to. However, I haven’t received any follow-up or contact from a specialist since then. We are exploring Android Enterprise solutions for our business and are interested in understanding the next steps to get started. Could someone from the team or community please assist or guide me on how to proceed? If additional information is required from my side, I’d be happy to provide it. Thank you for your support.

If so, then upvote my feedback here: Implement persistent multi user feature on Android | Microsoft Feedback. No, this is not the same as Microsoft Entra Shared Mode. It uses Android's built-in user profile feature and is documented by Google here: Manage multiple users | Android Enterprise | Android Developers. Microsoft disables this feature on all enrollment profiles with no way to enable it.Zero Touch Portal Setup - Error 403 on login

Zero Touch Portal - Error Message
Hi Team, I have created a new configuration item and linked it to Microsoft Intune token. Then I have decided to remove the Intune token configuration before removing the configuration file from Zero touch (which I dont think it should matter). Then I went to remove the configuration item from Zero touch and was getting a strange error message, see below. Now I'm left with a configuration item in Zero touch that I can't remove. Can someone please help or reach out, that would be great. Also, let me know if there is anything else you require from my end.ZTE - Unable to Bulk deregister devices

Hi everyone, I'm managing a large number of Android tablets in an educational environment. I'm trying to enroll the devices using Android Enterprise with QR code enrollment, but I'm having trouble getting the QR method to appear. So far, only Zero-Touch shows as an option, but most of our devices were not purchased through Zero-Touch resellers, so we can't use that method. My main question is: Is it strictly necessary to use an external MDM (like Miradore, Intune, etc.) to generate the QR code, or is there a way to create and use it directly from the Google Admin console or natively through Android Enterprise? We want to deploy the tablets efficiently and avoid entering accounts manually. Ideally, each device would automatically enroll with our managed Google Play account by scanning a QR code after a factory reset. This is especially important in a school context, where we have many students and limited time for configuration. We are already registered in Google Workspace, and the tablets are in a dedicated organizational unit for students. The admin account is managed, and we are using the Android Enterprise platform linked to our domain. For reference, here are two YouTube videos showing the configuration steps I followed (which reflect our current setup): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI-C_y1u8jE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h__pvfp559Q Any advice or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Especially if there’s a native way to enable QR enrollment without needing a full external MDM platform. Thanks in advance!
Play Protect Blocking Custom DPC Apps — How to Get Approval or Alternatives?
Hi everyone, I'm a developer who helps enterprises build custom DPC (Device Policy Controller) Reference Documentation apps to manage Android devices based on their unique requirements. Recently, Play Protect has started blocking the installation of custom DPC apps, even when these apps are signed and used internally. The warning claims the app may pose a risk due to access to sensitive data - even though it's strictly for enterprise use. To make things more difficult: Google is no longer accepting registration of custom DPC apps with Android Enterprise, which limits official distribution and management options. Android Management APIs don’t support all use cases, and also have quote limit. I’ve applied twice to join the Android Enterprise portal to build a SaaS-based device management platform, but both requests were rejected without a clear reason. My questions for the community: Is there any official way to get a custom DPC app approved or whitelisted by Play Protect? Are there any alternative ways to manage Android devices at scale (outside of AMAPI or legacy EMM)? How can new developers or startups gain access to Android Enterprise features when onboarding is currently restricted? Any help, direction, or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kulwinder
