- When you download and install the Android Agent on your Android mobile device, the agent will check if the device supports the managed profile feature.
If the device supports the managed profile feature, the agent will prompt the user to set up the work profile before the installation.
Info Having the Android Lollipop OS version or above will not enable you to set up the work profile. The setup might fail because of the OS customizations that would have been done on some of the devices by the manufacturers.
Example: The managed-profile doesn't work as expected on Asus Zenfone 2 device that supports Android Lollipop.
- Once the profile is set up, the Android agent is automatically copied into the new work profile. Therefore, WSO2 IoT Server will prompt you to uninstall the agent you downloaded previously as it was installed in the devices personal profile.
After setting up the work profile you need to follow the default steps to register an Android device with WSO2 IoT Server.
Once the registration process is completed, navigate to the launcher of the device and you will be able to see the applications that are used by the worker profile and the personal profile. The applications having the red icon are used by the WSO2 IoT Server work profile.
Info - Using this approach, you don't have to switch between the personal profile and work profile as all the applications used by each profile is shown in the same launcher.
- Based on the underlying architecture, the profiles have their own storage locations that can not be accessed by each other.
