Google Play Console : delete an application, ID transaction
Hi everyone, I noticed that it is now possible to delete an application that has been unpublished for a long time, for example. When you click on delete application, you are asked for the transaction ID of the developer account and the package name. I have my transaction ID (which can be found on payments.google.com), but it is not in the same format as the examples given and is not recognised. Have you ever tried to delete an application? Have you also encountered a problem with this ID? Best regards, NB : The ID I have is in the format xxx.registration-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
GBoard - Suggestion Strip
Hi, We want to use GBoard on kiosk devices but we aren't able to remove the suggestion strip using managed configurations. All other settings can be configured fine though. The show suggestion strip configuration is set to disabled. But with versions 15.x and 16.x of GBoard it's still visible on the devices. And when checking the setting locally on the device it's still enabled (Disabling manually works fine) Back in version 14.x this configuration worked fine. Anyone else who has experienced the same thing? We've tested this on devices from Samsung, Bluebird, ELO, and Zebra. Android version doesn't seem to have any impact, just the GBoard version. // Magnus
DPC Extras issues
Hello, I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out for assistance on an issue I'm experiencing with DPC extras on ZTE devices. Is there a method to implement DPC extras without using a QR code? It appears that even when configuring ZTE with DPC extras, some functionalities do not activate. Additionally, several design elements seem less than optimal. For instance, if you do not use a QR code before selecting the language—which, ideally, should be sourced from the DPC—there's an option presented to transfer data from another device. This option seems inappropriate for a company-owned device. Could this be improved? The next screen prompts a WiFi connection. Using a QR code skips this step, but users still need to manually confirm the WiFi connection. Could this be streamlined? Is it possible to enroll a device as an admin, reset it, and have the DPC extras from the QR code persist on the device until it connects to WiFi and verifies its management status? It seems everyone is adding devices to ZTE for security reasons, particularly for stolen devices, yet the reliance on QR codes adds unnecessary complexity. Could this process be made more user-friendly?Application report not getting collected on Xiaomi mix fold devices
We have couple of users who have the Xiaomi Fold device and in the application report section of status report notifications we are only getting the android device policy app. None of the other applications are getting returned. Is this a known issue? How can we debug the issue? I was not able to see anything obvious in the device logs. We are getting the full application report for the other devices.Tech Newbie interested in mobile cyber security, after multiple hacking events, seeking suggestions, tips, advice etc, to get involved.

Restoring Data on a Fully Managed (Device Owner) Android Device During Enrollment
Hello everyone, I’m testing the setup (enrollment) of a Device Owner / Fully Managed Android device, and I’ve run into a question about restoring data. When setting up a personal Android device, you typically get the option to sign in with a Google account and restore apps/data from a backup. However, when I try this on my test device with the fully managed (Device Owner) enrollment flow, it goes straight into the MDM provisioning process. I don’t see the Google sign-in page or any option to restore data from my Google backup. My questions: Is this the expected behaviour for Device Owner (fully managed) setups? Are there any official guides or best practices for restoring user data in this scenario (if supported)? Thanks in advance for any guidance or documentation links!
Managed Android TV
As far as I know, Android TV does not yet support Enrollment. If this were possible, connected Chromecasts (with Android TV) and tons of Smart TVs would become awesome Digital Signage solutions over night. Can we get an update on this issue? PS. Would have liked to add "Android TV" and "Digital Signage" as labels to this post. But that is not possible...
Known issues with Android System WebView 139.0.7258.160?
Hi everyone we have some reports about OAuth2 Login issues on Android devices with Microsoft Conditional Access rules. Some device (very small amount) are not able to login to some specific apps where the OAuth Login is being made with an embedded Browser session. During investigation we found out, that all users are on Android System WebView version 139.0.7258.160. Users without issues are running 139.0.7258.158. We don't know whether this is the issue but I wanted you asked whether other admins here are having similar issues in the last couple of weeks. Are there any known issues about certificate based logins with Android System WebView currently? Thank you! Kind Regards Daniel
Accent on french keyboard has changed in Android 15 (and also 16)
Hello, Since android 15, some characters are not taken into account correctly. For example the tilde character is showned on top if you use an external keyboard (Alt Gr + "é") and is showned on the middle of the character if you use the onscreen keyboard. Example in android 16 (but 15 seems to be the same): On external keyboard: "˜" On onscreen keyboard: "~" In our barcodes we sometimes use this character and thus it is an issue after updating to Android 15 the devices in production. does other French people see this or any character change ? (It seems the "¨" also changed) Lizzie , is there someone in your contacts we can discuss / exchange with on this topic ?
Question to Enterprise Factory Reset Protection
Hello, we have a question to EFRP: If you specify a google account which can unlock FRP on this device in the future, does this google account have any other special permissions on that device or is it just like any other google account if logged in? Our Security Office wants to know that to be sure there is no other security concerns with configuring central EFRP accounts. If you have any technical references or KB articles to this topic, it would be highly appreciated. :) Thank you in advance
