Manage referenced apps on AOSP devices

What changed

You can assign Required or Uninstall intent to OEM, preloaded, or externally deployed apps that already exist on supported AOSP devices. Required makes an existing app unhidden, while Uninstall hides it.

Why it matters

Device-management changes can affect policy processing, reporting, app delivery or support workflows across managed endpoints.
