Is MDMService DIRECT_BOOT aware?

Question

MDMService.Preferences is really an awesome feature to provision apps with config data, etc. I think, it's not DIRECT_BOOT aware, though, c.f. here: https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/direct-boot, i.e. it will only work after the first unlock by the user.

Is there any plan on adding this feature? Or what would you recommend to consider, when implementing this oneself? 

Answer 1

Yes, there are plans to implement the listener of android.intent.action.LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED in Headwind MDM, so it could work after boot even when the device is locked. 

This however needs some design changes, because currently all settings are stored in user preferences which are not available when a device is locked.
