Run the third-party keyboard restriction by starting the AWController and configuring the data loss prevention setting in the Workspace ONE UEM console. This feature does not require additional code after initializing the AWController.
Request your Workspace ONE UEM admin to configure the data loss prevention (DLP) menu item. Find the console settings in .
When this feature is set to No, any third party keyboards used in the application are automatically replaced with the native system keyboard.
SDK Behaves According to the Most Restrictive Implementation
If your application's code overrides the shouldAllowExtensionPointIdentifier delegate method, the Workspace ONE SDK honors the more restrictive implementation.
For example, if the SDK setting allows third party keyboards but your application forcibly returns no to disallow custom keyboards, then custom keyboards are disallowed in the application. If the SDK setting does not allow third party keyboards then the third party keyboard is not allowed regardless of your applications implementation of the method.
