Android Enterprise is no longer accepting new registrations for custom device
policy controllers (DPC) using the Google Play EMM API. All new EMM solutions
should now use Android Management API, which comes with
its own DPC provided by Google.
For information on how to build a public solution using the Android Management
API, see Develop your solution and Release your
solution.
About Android Management API
Android Management API offers Android's full range of device and app management
capabilities. Its companion DPC, Android Device Policy,
is provided and maintained by Google. Android Device Policy automatically
handles on-device policy enforcement set by the API.
This solution eliminates the need for EMM developers to create, update, and
maintain their own custom DPC, and significantly reduces the development effort
required to integrate new features as they
become available.
Continued support for Google Play EMM API
Android Enterprise remains committed to supporting the Google Play EMM API for
existing EMM community members who already have a custom DPC with a validated
solution set. However, we're no longer accepting new registrations for
custom DPCs that use the Play EMM API.
