What's new for enterprise in Android 14

This page provides an overview of the enterprise APIs, features, and behavior changes introduced in Android 14.

Contacts

Android 14 adds the following two fields:

• ContactsContract.Contacts#ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_URI
• ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone#ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_URI

Together, these fields allow personal apps with the READ_CONTACTS permission to list all work profile contacts and phone numbers as long as the cross-profile contacts policy in DevicePolicyManager allows it.

Cross-profile access to contacts

The policy can be set and queried using the following methods in DevicePolicyManager, which specify which packages are allowed to access work contacts from the personal profile:

• setManagedProfileContactsAccessPolicy()
• getManagedProfileContactsAccessPolicy()

These methods are backward compatible and should be used instead of the following methods that are now deprecated:

• setCrossProfileContactsSearchDisabled()
• getCrossProfileContactsSearchDisabled()

Cross-profile caller ID searches

Similarly, Android 14 adds the following methods for cross-profile caller ID searches:

• setManagedProfileCallerIdAccessPolicy()
• getManagedProfileCallerIdAccessPolicy()

These methods are backward compatible and should be used instead of the following methods that are now deprecated:

• getCrossProfileCallerIdDisabled()
• setCrossProfileCallerIdDisabled()

Ultra-Wideband

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio technology that can use a very low energy level for short-range, high-bandwidth communications over a large portion of the radio spectrum.

Starting in Android 14, a device or profile owner can disallow UWB on an organization-owned device by applying the DISALLOW_ULTRA_WIDEBAND_RADIO user restriction with DevicePolicyManager.addUserRestriction().

Deprecations

Android 14 includes the following notable API deprecations:

• DevicePolicyManager#setCrossProfileCalendarPackages and DevicePolicyManager#getCrossProfileCalendarPackages are deprecated.

  Calendar apps should migrate to connected apps and device policy controllers (DPCs) should use DevicePolicyManager#setCrossProfilePackages instead.

• The following methods are deprecated:

  • DevicePolicyManager#setCrossProfileContactsSearchDisabled
  • DevicePolicyManager#getCrossProfileContactsSearchDisabled
  • DevicePolicyManager#setCrossProfileCallerIdDisabled
  • DevicePolicyManager#getCrossProfileCallerIdDisabled

  DPCs should use the alternative methods outlined in the preceding Contacts section.
