QPR2 Beta 1 - CP41.260701.005

Track: QPR2 Beta | Milestone: December 2026 stable

The first QPR2 build, with a notable architectural change to the policy engine and several new policy areas.

DPC capabilities

• eSIM transfer query renamed - the method for checking whether an eSIM can be transferred off-device was renamed to isOutgoingEsimTransferAllowed, clarifying its purpose
• Policy enforcement attribution - DPC apps can now query which admins are enforcing a given typed policy on a specific user, useful in multi-admin environments where understanding who set a policy matters
• Developer options policy (provisional) - a new typed policy for controlling developer options access, with allowed and disallowed states
• Login screen policy scope (provisional) - a new policy scope targets the login and lock screen context specifically, enabling policies that apply only before a user signs in

Other enterprise changes

• Policy metadata decentralised - the monolithic policy definitions file was deleted and replaced by eight per-namespace supplier classes that load lazily. This modular approach scales to the volume of policies needed for platform convergence with ChromeOS
• Three flags graduated in this build: enforcingAdminExtraEnabled, enforcingAdminGetComponentNameEnabled, and setTimeCoexistence
• Memory tagging policy (provisional) - a new typed policy for controlling ARM Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) with enabled, disabled, and user choice states
• Ethernet policy (provisional) - a new permission for managing Ethernet state through the policy engine
• Extended serial numbers (provisional) - the enterprise-specific ID calculator now supports serial numbers longer than 16 characters
• Lock screen message permission renamed for consistency (from LOCKSCREEN to LOCK_SCREEN)
• Pre-created users blocked - creating users in advance now throws an exception when the feature is disabled, preventing unexpected user states
• Policy type validation - policy values are now validated for correct types before size checks, catching malformed policy data earlier
