  • 1.  Need Samsung Calendar app for Android Enterprise PO

    Posted Mon August 17, 2020 10:52 AM
    Hi!

    I am able to get the Samsung Email app installed and configured inside the Work profile after migrating Samsung phones from Device Admin to Android Enterprise Profile Owner, but how do I handle the calendar events?

    The 'work' calendar events are removed from the Samsung Calendar app in the Personal profile (only the 'personal' events are left behind) during the migration to AE PO, and therefore I suspect I must also get the Samsung Calendar app installed and configured along with the Samsung Email app in the Work profile in order to carry forward the 'work' calendar events.

    Is this correct?

    Next question then is: Where is the Samsung Calendar app in Google Play? I simply cannot find it!

    Hi Arne,

    Usually these types of native apps don't have to be added via the app store workflows (mail being one of the exceptions because of app config workflows).  I would try just whitelisting the bundle ID for the calendar app (you can retrieve it from the personal side of the device with something like APK extractor) and that should enable it inside the work profile.  Let me know if that works out for your devices.

    Hi Matt!

    Awesome! What you suggested did the trick! Samsung Email and Samsung Calendar are both now available in the Work profile!

    Many thanks, and have a great weekend!
