How can i fix this isssue to make the application a device owner.

Answer 1

At a quick glance it looks like you're missing the ".services" in the receiver's name and the package name should not contain ".services".

Try: adb shell dpm set-device-owner org.wso2.iot.agent/.services.AgentDeviceAdminReceiver

Answer 2

I know its a bit late, but I got solved the error by changing the receiver name in the Manifest file from com.packageName.util.reciever.AdminReceiver to .AdminReceiver - followed by directly putting the Device Admin Receiver in the root of the package

After that Installing the app and running the command from ADB like ADB shell dpm set-device-owner com.package.package/.AdminReceiver

Answer 3

It's late, but what solved for me was changing the package name for the applicationId when running the ADB command.

What I was trying to do:

adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.package.name/com.package.name.MyDeviceAdminReceiver

What worked:

adb shell dpm set-device-owner applicationId/com.package.name.MyDeviceAdminReceiver

Answer 4

My Package name is au.com.rightwayitservices.kiosk as defined in Manifest file and my application id is au.com.rightwayitservices.kiosk as in build.gradle file and my class that extends DeviceAdminReceiver name is DeviceAdminReceiver
