Android 设备策略同步在手动完成之前不起作用

Question

We have some android devices attached to Android Management API as fully managed work devices.

Now when we push out some changes to the device policy such as Factory Reset Disabled , Adjust Volume Button Disabled or any other such controls, the devices don't sync it immediately.

In fact we have to manually open up Android Device Policy and click on Sync for it actually get the changes.

This is really troublesome because at times the policy doesn't sync for hours together and the devices don't get the updates.

Also we load up the whole policy of the device for every control change because if not the other controls go back to null , can Patch or UpdateMask be used to avoid this?

Can someone please suggest me of what can be done to make sure the device gets the policy changes immediately ?

Answer 1

I've run into the same issue, despite the documentation assuring that policy updates are applied to all devices that utilize the updated policy.

The best workaround I have found is to issue a REBOOT command to any device that I specifically want to update. While this usually leads to the device rebooting twice, it does immediately happen, and after the second reboot the device seems to pickup policy updates.

Answer 2

Try with the settings: "appAutoUpdatePolicy": "ALWAYS",

"systemUpdate": { "type": "AUTOMATIC" }

I have my device update in a few seconds.

Answer 3

Since I tried with new version, this issue is not resolved. Someone guide me to solve it.
