Device users can continue to install appsinto the personal profile using the Android DebugBridge (adb). This restriction affects future installations-previouslyinstalled apps remain on the device. The user interface in the system settings remains active but the system blocksapp installation. The following example shows how you can check that Google Play supports thissetting and set the value to true: Add the ENSURE_VERIFY_APPS user restriction.In the bundle, put a boolean value for the verify_apps:device_wide_unknown_source_block key.Set a managed configuration bundle for the Google Play package.

To restrict app installs to Google Play, follow these steps: The device-widerestriction is available in Android 8.0 (or higher) when the installed GooglePlay app is version 80812500 or higher. However, the admin of a work profilecan place a device-wide restriction by setting a managedconfiguration for Google Play. When the admin of a work profile adds DISALLOW_INSTALL_UNKNOWN_SOURCES, therestriction only applies to the work profile. To prevent somebody installing apps from unknown sources, admin components offully managed devices and work profiles can add the DISALLOW_INSTALL_UNKNOWN_SOURCES userrestriction. Devices and data can be at increased riskwhen people install these apps. Block apps from unknown sourcesĪpps that aren’t installed from Google Play (or other trusted app stores) arecalled apps from unknown sources.

For details on how to configure app suspension, see setPackagesSuspended. Launchers can find out if an app is suspended by calling the isPackageSuspended()method. Suspended packages don’t appear in the overviewscreen, they can’tshow dialogs (including toasts and snackbars), and they can’t play audio orvibrate the device. While an app is suspended, it can’t start activities, and notifications to thepackage are suppressed. When a user taps the app, they see a system dialog saying thatthe app is suspended. To disable access to apps, a DPC running in device owner or profile owner modeconfigures setPackagesSuspended(),and then the selected app acts as if it's disabled (the Google launcher graysout the app).
