Why
The motivation behind this PR is to provide Expo developers with a way to configure their apps for Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions. Managed are used in apps deployed in enterprise environments, allowing IT administrators to remotely manage and configure settings within an app for users within their organization. It can be complimented with
react-native-emmorreact-native-mdmto integrate MDM features.This PR introduces the @config-plugins/managed-config to @expo/config-plugins to allow MDM configuration support without being tied to a specific library.

How
The
@config-plugins/managed-configplugin was developed following the Expo Config Plugin system's guidelines, leveraging the Android Managed Configurations XML resource file to declare app restrictions. It parses a given set of restrictions defined in theapp.jsonorapp.config.jsunder the plugin options and generates the corresponding XML file at build time, which is then included in the final Android app bundle.The plugin supports all documented restriction types (e.g.,
bool,string,integer,choice,multi-select,hidden,bundle, andbundle_array).Test Plan
The plugin has been thoroughly tested with a series of unit tests covering each restriction type (
bool,string,integer,choice,multi-select,hidden,bundle,bundle_array). These tests validate the XML generation logic, ensuring that the output matches the expected configuration for a given set of restrictions.Additional manual testing was performed using the
apps/appproject and validating that theapp_restrictionsfile was added, and the android manifest was modified correctly.
