I apologies for using this Gist for asking this question, but does anybody happen to have a super barebones DPC kotlin application I can take a look at? I've been working on my own but unfortunately I'm unable to correctly use it using the QR method. After scanning the code, the app is being downloaded, android displays “Device belongs to your organization”, but then it fails. Debugging by fetching the logs is a PITA, but it looks like Android is trying to fall back on the (non existent) CloudDPC app in stead of using my app as the DPC.

Unable to start service Intent { cmp=com.android.managedprovisioning/com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.base.managedprovisioning.provisioning.ProvisioningService } U=0: not found

I've got the feeling my app is not correctly registering itself as a DPC app. Any help is highly appreciated!

Finally found it! For anyone running into the same issue; you need the following additional activities (next to your DeviceAdminReceiver):

        <activity
            android:name=".GetProvisioningModeActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:permission="android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.app.action.GET_PROVISIONING_MODE" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <activity
            android:name=".PolicyComplianceActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:permission="android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.app.action.ADMIN_POLICY_COMPLIANCE" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

class PolicyComplianceActivity : Activity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        // Do any required setup
        val intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
        startActivity(intent)
        finish()
    }
}

class GetProvisioningModeActivity : Activity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        val result = Intent().apply {
            putExtra(
                DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_MODE,
                DevicePolicyManager.PROVISIONING_MODE_FULLY_MANAGED_DEVICE
            )
        }

        setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, result)
        finish()
    }
}
