Hey everyone!
Just wanted to clarify something. We follow COBE policy and have enrolled our android devices in AE using G suite. Right after enrollment, we noticed that we couldn’t see any apps in the playstore of the device. Even when we search the apps, it is not being displayed.

Hello Alann,

Enrolling as a device owner allows you to have granular control over your devices. Therefore, the Play Store will only show apps that you add. If there are no apps pushed to the device, the Play Store will be empty. Deploy an app catalog with apps that are necessary for your organization. These apps will be visible in the Play Store, and your employees will be able to install them.

Cheers!!

seems like a good feature. Was thinking that I might have to block playstore to achieve this.
