Allowing Google Gemini to Run in Android Native Lockdown

When Google Gemini is opened for the first time on an Android Enterprise device, the Google app launches the following activity:

com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.search.assistant.surfaces.voice.robin.main.MainActivity

If this activity is not included in the Native Lockdown allowed activities list, Native Lockdown blocks the activity, preventing Google Gemini from opening.

• Android Enterprise work-managed device
• Native Lockdown enabled
