Create Native Apps for Android

Important

This is useful for Android devices running in Kiosk Mode with a custom launcher where Device Settings are enabled through configurations. It allows access to native device apps such as Phone, Messages, or Settings. Any native app available on the device can be added, provided you use the correct Application ID.
