Hi,
Some of our client's apk can not be installed due to DELETE_FAILED_DEVICE_POLICY_MANAGER error of adb. In codebase returns true either way so we can't catch the apk is actually uninstalled.
This apk has device admin permission. If it is authorized then it can not be uninstalled regular way. First we must disable policy with "adb shell pm disable-user pkg" then uninstall it with normal way.
I share you an example apk has this permission:
https://apkcombo.com/device-administrator/io.ebeck.jacob.deviceadmin/download/apk
After the installation apk;
Open the app
Click the Enable Device Admin
It opens android permision pop-up
Click activate.
Then you could not uninstall the apk in normal way. It responds with "Failure [DELETE_FAILED_DEVICE_POLICY_MANAGER]"
So In the code i made some changes that throws an error if this event occurs. So in my workspace i can catch it then solved like above solution.
`import { Adb } from './src';
const client = Adb.createClient();
const udid = 'emulator-5554';
const element = 'io.ebeck.jacob.deviceadmin';
const device = client.getDevice(udid);
async function uninstall() {
try {
const result = await device.uninstall(element);
console.log(result);
} catch (error: any) {
console.log(error.message);
await device.shell("pm disable-user " + element)
.then(Adb.util.readAll)
.then((output) => {
console.log('[%s] %s', device.serial, output.toString().trim());
})
const result = await device.uninstall(element);
console.log(result);
}
}
uninstall();
