Check Text ( C-38286r623216_chk )
Review Honeywell Android device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has only approved application repositories (DoD-approved commercial app repository, MDM server, and/or mobile application store).

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration console and the Android Pie device.

On the MDM console:
1. Open Restrictions section.
2. Set Allow "Honeywell Play" (Uses only Managed Honeywell Play).
3. Ensure that Disallow is set for "Install unknown sources".

On the Honeywell Android Pie device:
1. Open Settings >> Apps and notifications >> Advanced >> Special app access.
2. Open Install unknown apps.
3. Ensure the list of apps is blank or if an app is on the list, "Disabled by admin" is listed under the app name.

If the MDM console device policy is not set to allow connections to only approved application repositories or on the Honeywell Android Pie device, the device policy is not set to allow connections to only approved application repositories, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-38249r623217_fix)
Configure the Honeywell Android device to disable unauthorized application repositories.

On the MDM console:
