Android 17 Beta 4 - CP21.260330.008

Track: Android 17 Beta | Milestone: June 2026 stable

The near-final Android 17 beta, carrying the typed policy engine (present since earlier betas) and cleaning up legacy APIs.

DPC capabilities

• Typed policy interface - setPolicy, getPolicy, getResolvedDeviceWidePolicy, and getResolvedPerUserPolicy are present with typed PolicyIdentifier parameters and built-in multi-admin resolution. These carry @FlaggedApi at API 10000 (provisional) and will ship when the backing flags graduate
• DPM role bypass check - a new method lets apps check whether a package is allowed to bypass device policy management role qualification requirements
• Async provisioning callback - multi-user device provisioning gained an async callback interface for reporting provisioning results without blocking

Other enterprise changes

• Typed package policy framework - PackageIdentifier and PackagePolicyValue landed, providing strongly typed infrastructure for policies that operate on specific packages
• Policy streamlining flags (provisional) - flags appeared for auto-time, Bluetooth sharing, factory reset, lockscreen message, maximum time to lock, screen capture, app install, and app uninstall - all still gated
• Several legacy flags removed (graduated out): deviceOwnerForAll, fixDisabledByAdminShortMessageNotShown, fixUsbDataSignalingRestrictionAfterReboot
• Common criteria coexistence (provisional) - a new flag for migrating Common Criteria mode to the policy coexistence model
• Lockscreen info coexistence (provisional) - a new flag for migrating lockscreen information display to the policy engine
• Managed device definition (provisional) - a flag for broadening what qualifies as a "managed device" beyond strict device owner or profile owner
