Review Zebra Android device configuration settings to determine whether a developer mode is enabled. This validation procedure is performed on both the EMM Administration Console and the Android 11 device. On the EMM Console: 1. Open "Set user restrictions" section. 2. Verify that "Disallow debugging features" is toggled to "On". 3. Open "Set user restrictions on parent" section. 4. Verify that "Disallow debugging features" is toggled to "On". On the Android 11 device, do the following: 1. Go to Settings >> System. 2. Ensure "Developer Options" is not listed. 3. Go to Settings >> About Phone. 4. Tap on the "Build Number" to try to enable "Developer Options" and validate that action is blocked. If the EMM console device policy is not set to disable developer mode or on the Android 11 device, the device policy is not set to disable developer mode, this is a finding.
