How to deploy your custom .apk files to android fully managed devices from Intune
i got stuck with one situation and need your guidance in solving it. We have our own .apk file for android devices, these are custom in-house developed applications, i want to deploy the application to Android Fully Managed devices (Since the device belongs to company). I did it before with publishing them to google play store as a private app but now the size is the problem as it exceed 200MB, so i cannot use this option. I tried with deploying them as Line of Business application but its been 2 days nothing shows on device and even in intune portal it neither failed or success. Question: How to deploy your custom .apk files to android fully managed devices if the file size se more than 200MB?
Stop factor data reset after deleting device from android managment device delete api
I have enrolled a fully managed device using the Android Management API. However, when I delete the device from my enterprise using the enterprise.device.delete API, it factory resets the data. I want to preserve the user's data instead of performing a factory reset. I also tried creating a personal use device, but then it didn't allow me to launch an app in KIOSK mode. I want both features: running an app in KIOSK mode and preserving the data when I delete the device. I'm not sure how to achieve this.
Data exchange between apps broken in multi-app kiosk mode
I am provisioning a fleet of fully managed devices (running Android 10) via AMAPI, and due to our specific use-case, I'd prefer to set them up in multi-app Kiosk mode. However, while I was evaluating Kiosk mode, I noticed something strange: data exchange between apps seems to be broken. Example #1: User scans a QR code containing a website URL, and taps "open link" in the QR scanner app -> Chrome opens, but does not attempt to open the website, it just shows the last opened pages. Example #2: User searches for an address via google.com in Chrome. Then taps on the map thumbnail in the search results. Google Maps opens, but the Google Places details are not shown, GMaps just displays the last location. I tested (separately, of course) both the built-in Kiosk launcher (via KioskCustomLauncherEnabled=true) and a 3rd party one (via InstallType=KIOSK), and in both cases the outcome was the same. As soon as I disable Kiosk mode in the test policy (while leaving all other parameters intact), data sharing starts working normally. As soon as I reenable Kiosk mode, the shared data no longer reaches its destination. Am I missing something here? Is this some kind of deliberate limitation in Kiosk mode? Is there a solution or workaround? Might be related (?): Share Photos inside Android KIOSK between Google Photos & any other email client
Enabling Location Accuracy via EMM
Hi, Does anyone know whether or not it should be possible to turn location accuracy (within location services) on via EMM on a Fully Managed device? Or is it a decision placed in the hands of the user for privacy reasons? We use WS1 - there is a "high accuracy" setting in the restriction profile but the wording on that seems to correlate with Android 4.4-8.1 when you look at this document - https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3467281 It feels as though "high accuracy" and "location accuracy" are two seperate things.
Not all devices in Zero Touch Portal are forcing a fully managed profile.
We have Zero Touch and use Intune. We do not have Intune linked to Zero Touch. We created a configuration in Zero Touch. The devices should enroll as fully managed. Several devices are successfully enrolling as fully managed however, some are being prompted to set up a work profile rather than enroll as fully managed. It doesn't seem to be consistent as to make, model or OS version. All of the devices below are in Zero Touch and should have been enrolled as fully managed. They all point to the same configuration in Zero Touch. Also, some devices prompt for work profile setup but then only go so far before endinto a screen that says the device cannot be setup. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. Thank you, NancySet default browser under AMAPI
We are working with fully managed dedicated devices under Android Manage API and would like to be able have multiple browser app installed but set a default browser using policy. The persistentPreferredActivities seems like the best fit for this and we have successfully used it to set preferred activities for other actions. But so far, attempts to setup a preferred activity for an http/https URL have been unsuccessful. My setup looks something like this: "persistentPreferredActivities": [ { "actions": [ "android.intent.action.VIEW" ], "categories": [ "android.intent.category.BROWSABLE", "android.intent.category.DEFAULT" ], "receiverActivity": "com.mybrowser/.BrowserActivity" } ] My "BrowserActivity" is configured to support android.intent.action.VIEW intents. <activity android:name=".BrowserActivity" android:label="@string/title_activity_browser" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> <data android:scheme="http" /> <data android:scheme="https" /> </intent-filter> </activity> And I can manually set my app as the default browser in Settings. But if I try to start an activity with an implicit intent to open an http/https URL, it always opens in Chrome. Is this the correct approach to set the default browser under AMAPI or its there another way to do that?
