I am trying to enroll a test device using the Android Management API as part of a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) deployment. This device is intended for testing purposes before deploying the solution to production.

I have written a custom DPC app that acts as a kiosk for an Android device. I am trying to understand the different ways to set this app as device owner. I know of the way over ADB, but this seems to be designed for testing. The standard way seems to be to set it at device setup with a QR code. Does the QR code way require the phone to be tied to an enterprise with Android management API? I have no need to remotely manage the device, I just want to find the best way to set the DPC app as the device owner.
