❕Google is requiring all OEMs to remove screen skipping functionality during provisioning

Hello all,

this might be of interest to a broader audience...

" The Google Android™ Enterprise team is aware that Android GMS devices may be configured to reduce the time taken to complete the Google setup wizard when provisioning a large fleet of Android Enterprise devices. By skipping the Google setup screens, end users of the Android Enterprise devices may not have had the opportunity to individually review, accept, and/or acknowledge important notices, terms, and controls governing their use of Google services on the device; such as Google's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and the collection of usage and diagnostic data (which is initially enabled in setup). Per Google, this situation would also potentially violate the agreements between Google and all OEMs, such as Google Mobile Services (GMS) requirements."

Hmm, do you know if this will go for COPE only or even fully managed where you most likely have multi user or company usage only where all those screens just doesnt make sense.

Do you have a source of this you can share (where does this come from)?

Ah ok, i have no access to the partner portal. 

A pain as i would really like to have all of the screens configureable, at least for fully managed, in QR or ZTE.

thanks for sharing even it's bad news for all enterprise grade customers as on all others there was no option to skip this yet.

Zebra has removed the Skip Wizard since some months, but reimplemend a new Skip Wizard Code to display only the Google Services but skips all other screens like wlan selection, copy data,....

Hi Martin,

can you give me a hint how to re-create the barcodes with StageNow to display only the Google Services?

At the moment we still have all the screens you mentioned (wifi, time and time-zone, copy data, etc.).

Thanks in advance

Best regards
