Using AnyDesk with managed Profiles (Work Profile)
Steps to make the plugin AD1 ready for AnyDesk connections to a managed profile (Order is important)
- Make sure the plugin is installed in main profile and in managed profile.
- Make sure the plugin is activated in the accessibility settings.
- Open the plugin inside the main profile. Click on the overflow button and configure the plugin.
- If that does not work, try it from the managed profile. You might need to allow cross profile communication in your MDM solution.
- The relevant filter is:
action='com.anydesk.adcontrol.ad1.CONFIGURE' category='android.intent.category.DEFAULT'
- Code example:
filter = new IntentFilter(); filter.addAction('com.anydesk.adcontrol.ad1.CONFIGURE'); filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT); int flags = DevicePolicyManager.FLAG_MANAGED_CAN_ACCESS_PARENT | DevicePolicyManager.FLAG_PARENT_CAN_ACCESS_MANAGED; devicePolicyManager.addCrossProfileIntentFilter(getComponentName(context), filter, flags);
- The relevant filter is:
