DefaultApplicationType

  • You can specify default applications for various categories on Android devices, including assistant, browser, call redirection, call screening, dialer, home, SMS, and wallet apps.

  • The ability to set a default application and its supported scope (fully managed, personal profile, work profile, or company-owned) depends on the specific application type and the Android version.

  • Non-compliance details are reported with MANAGEMENT_MODE or API_LEVEL reasons if the default application setting is not supported due to the device's management mode or Android version.

  • The DEFAULT_APPLICATION_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED enum value should not be used.
