Using AnyDesk with managed Profiles (Work Profile)
Steps to make the plugin AD1 ready for AnyDesk connections to a managed profile (Order is important)
- Make sure the plugin is installed in main profile and in managed profile.
- Make sure the plugin is activated in the accessibility settings.
- Open the plugin inside the main profile. Click on the overflow button and configure the plugin.
- If that does not work, try it from the managed profile. You might need to allow cross profile communication in your MDM solution.
- The relevant filter is:
action='com.anydesk.adcontrol.ad1.CONFIGURE' category='android.intent.category.DEFAULT'
- Code example:
filter = new IntentFilter(); filter.addAction('com.anydesk.adcontrol.ad1.CONFIGURE'); filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT); int flags = DevicePolicyManager.FLAG_MANAGED_CAN_ACCESS_PARENT | DevicePolicyManager.FLAG_PARENT_CAN_ACCESS_MANAGED; devicePolicyManager.addCrossProfileIntentFilter(getComponentName(context), filter, flags);

In the event that the vendor for Android/Fire TV device has disabled the Accessibility settings, the control plugin for AnyDesk cannot be activated.
AnyDesk can then be used for Remote View only. A possible workaround is to use the adb shell.
The plugin can be enabled using the following command:adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services com.anydesk.adcontrol.ad1/com.anydesk.adcontrol.AccService
More information about adb can be found at the official adb documentation.
Screenrecording Dialog (Android 10+)

regular version: adb shell appops set com.anydesk.anydeskandroid PROJECT_MEDIA allow
custom client: adb shell appops set com.anydesk.anydeskandroid.custom PROJECT_MEDIA allow
