How to enable kiosk mode for a web app in the Android Management API

问题

One of our customers wants to enable the single kiosk mode with a web app. When we apply this configuration, it doesn't work: the web app is not displayed, and the device is not usable (even if the Chrome app is installed).

When the kiosk mode is disabled, the web app is perfectly usable. So I guess there is an issue on the AMAPI side.

Here is the application data of the profile:

"applications": [
   {
     "packageName": "com.google.enterprise.webapp.<generated-id>",
     "installType": "KIOSK",
     "defaultPermissionPolicy": "GRANT"
   }
  ],

Thanks a lot in advance for you help!

To enable kiosk mode for a web app you need to set installType: KIOSK for the web app and also add Chrome in the policy with installType: FORCE_INSTALLED. This is because the web app links to Chrome. See below an example of how the policy should look like.

Note that in this example the policy also restricts accessible URLs via a managed configuration, which is often required for web app kiosks. The managed configuration is set for Chrome and applies to the web app as well since the web app is rendered by Chrome.

{
  "applications": [
    {
      "packageName": "com.android.chrome",
      "installType": "FORCE_INSTALLED",
      "managed_configuration": {
        "URLBlacklist": ["*"],
        "URLWhitelist": ["en.m.wikipedia.org"]
      },
      "defaultPermissionPolicy": "GRANT"
    },
    {
      "packageName": "com.google.enterprise.webapp.x7206d5dbf82b6e3f",
      "installType": "KIOSK",
      "defaultPermissionPolicy": "GRANT"
    }
  ],
  "statusBarDisabled": true,
  "keyguardDisabled": true
}
