devices provide additional security for organizations that want to manage 
Android
 devices. For more information about

For detailed instructions on configuring

You can use application policies to configure the 
Gmail
 app, however you must use a Work and Personal or Work Only activation type to activate the device and not an MDM activation type.
There are two ways to configure 
BlackBerry UEM
 to support 
Android Enterprise
 devices:
  1. Connect 
    BlackBerry UEM
     to a 
    Google Cloud
     or 
    G Suite
     domain.
    You can connect only one 
    BlackBerry UEM
     domain to a 
    Google
     domain.
  2. Allow 
    BlackBerry UEM
     to manage 
    Android Enterprise
     devices that have managed 
    Google Play
     accounts. You don't need to have a 
    Google
     domain to use this option. For more information, see https://support.google.com/googleplay/work/.
