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.
Chrome is crashing again and again since few days
Hello, A colleague of mine has its chrome application crashing after few minutes of usage. It is on a COPE device and happens both on personal and pro area. We removed completly the data of the app and restart the phone but the issue persists since few days. I've opened a case at Samsung as it is on a samsung device but does some of you face the same issue ? I see a last update of chrome from the 2nd of september on this device. Corey, the day has come, my colleage is switching back to Microsoft Edge ;) Best regards
Activating Device Owner in Android 16
I’m building a parental control app that relies on Device Owner mode. This worked fine on older devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S8 running Android 8/9), but it fails on a Pixel 10 Pro running Android 16. Process: I factory reset the Pixel. At the welcome screen, I scan a QR provisioning code. The QR downloads my signed APK, installs it, and should activate it as the Device Owner. Problem: On Android 16, the app is installed but Device Owner is not activated. In Settings > Device Admin, my app is listed, but the toggle is off. My MyDeviceAdminReceiver never fires — I see no provisioning broadcast (PROVISIONING_COMPLETE or PROVISIONING_SUCCESSFUL) and no debug logs. Here is my provisioning json as a starter - juyst in case I am doing something stupid!! { "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_MODE": "device_owner", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_COMPONENT_NAME": "com.xxxx.yyyy/.MyDeviceAdminReceiver", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION": "https://test.app.com/app-release.apk", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM": "rePWsxWwsW2wycUDiE_hVHSczS3qaJIdk7fnzDMPDV0", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_LEAVE_ALL_SYSTEM_APPS_ENABLED": false, "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_SHOULD_LAUNCH_RESULT_INTENT": true, "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE": { "provision_token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx......." } }
Updating the Device Art Generator (Device Frame)
The Device art generator is a great tool for people who don’t want to install Android Studio just to take some framed screenshots for documentation use. There are third-party apps that can do this too (Snapmod), but I was wondering if the developers at Google could give the Device art generator some well-deserved love and update it to include Pixel 10 frames? Thanks.

Bug? G-board removes additional languages post BYOD Enrollment?
We noticed a strange behaviour, If G-board has additional languages added apart from English like Polish or German, post enrolling into a work profile, the additional languages disappear from the keyboard. I was able to reproduce with Intune, WorkspaceOne and even TestDPC app. This is true even if no Device Restrictions are applied. It seems like a bug. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Gmail does not show certificate selection dialog when "exchange_login_certificate_alias" is not specified in managed configuration
Hi, I am trying to configure Gmail to work with Exchange ActiveSync within a work profile via managed configuration according to the documentation - https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/7065453 The following parameters are specified: "exchange_host", "email_address", "exchange_username", "exchange_authentication_type" (allow_modern_authentication) The "exchange_login_certificate_alias" parameter is not set. I expect that the user will have to select a certificate via the system dialog. But as a result of such a configuration, the certificate selection dialog is not displayed to the user. The mail setup process is interrupted and the error message "Try again later, or contact your IT admin" is displayed However, if I specify any random value in the "exchange_login_certificate_alias" parameter, the certificate selection dialog is displayed. I would like to know whether this is expected behavior or a known issue?

Hello everyone, Our team is always interested to hear your insights around the current employee experience on managed Android devices and profiles (Work Profile). One specific area of focus is the application installation experience, particularly for apps installs that happen while the device is in use (not part of initial setup). The installation experience can vary depending on a variety of factors - the device model and Android version, configuration of your EMM’s DPC client, management mode of the device (fully managed vs. Work Profile), the permissions required by the app, the source of installation, permission policies, etc. Based on your setup, it would be fantastic to hear some of your user experiences and what improvements you’d potentially like to see? I know this is an interesting topic for many of you, so I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts, feedback and having a good conversation. Massive thanks in advance, Lizzie
Google Messages App: SMS to shortcode not able to send
Our Provider (Vodafone Germany) is using a SMS shortcode number to be able to order an upgrade on dataplans by sms. Once the monthly contract plan (e.g. 1 GB) have been used users will receive a sms from 70997 to inform that you can answer the SMS with "1" or "2" to restore your data connectivity. We ran into the issue that the Google Messages app seems to have some sort of bug with sending SMS to this kind of shortcode number as it alway says "Not sent" in red error text. Provider tech support told me that the Google messages app is prefixing the number with "49" resulting in a wrong / unknown number (4970997). They cannot fix that from their side as the issue is within Google messages app and asked me to install a 3rd party messages app.... *ugly* Is this something I can request to investigate from here? I will also create a case with Samsung tech support as we are mainly using Samsung devices as our corp. device fleet. Thank you! Kind Regards DanielPaid apps in Managed Google Play store
Has anyone able to purchase (paid) apps in the Managed Google Play store? I assume we still have the following limitation in 2025? "Managed Google Play no longer supports the ability to purchase app licenses. Your organization can still manage the app licenses it already owns. However, it won't be possible to purchase any additional licenses." OP: https://support.google.com/googleplay/work/answer/6150398?hl=en The paid app we're trying to purchase:
