Enable system apps on Android device in DO mode

[CEPers 0]

When registering an Android device in Device Owner mode all preinstalled system apps like the camera app is disabled. How can I prevent this from happening or enable the apps afterwards?

Hello,

Currently there is only workaround. You will have to decode QR code provided by WebConsole, add line into json

"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_LEAVE_ALL_SYSTEM_APPS_ENABLED": "true"

and encode into QR code again. Google by default disables system application with DO enrollment.

HTH,

Thank you Mirek! This worked great once I found a decent QR code tool. Do you have any plans on implementing this option in the Management Center?

Hello,

There is an improvement tracked for this, however I can't say if it will be next released version.
