Hi Android Developers,
I seek advise about what solution to use for building a specific enterprise 
app.

We want to develop an enterprise app for a business partner.
Our partner sells android devices, and they want us to administrate their 
devices.

Needs for the app are:

   - ability to administrate the device (reboot, block/allow apps, disable 
   uninstall of the app other than administrators, update app silently), so in 
   general, have a functionality that DPC apps have with device-owner mode
   - the phone should be associated with a device-account, generated for 
   each device in a store, about 50 devices per store; the phones belong to 
   the store, and customers can try it, but should not have control over it 
   (similar to a retail mode phone)

Problems are:

   - rooting the devices is not an option
   - silent auto-update and remote management is a must
   - only administrators (we) should be able to remove the app

I have read through the
Android EMM Developers overview 
(https://developers.google.com/android/work/overview),
and the Android in the Enterprise tutorials 
(https://developer.android.com/work/index.html),
but I can't seem to figure out what to use.

As I understand, EMM developers should provide a DPC app and an EMM console 
to customers.
This situation is a bit different, because our customer does not need a 
console since we will be administrating their devices, and we don't want 
anybody else to use our console.

Can we use the EMM solution provider way to achieve this - is it right for 
it at all? -, or should we do something else?

Thanks,
Adrián Sámson
