WorkProfile contact sync

Almar Diehl

About this app

This app has been developed to solve the issue where in an Android Enterprise work-profile your (business) contacts are not available in your personal-profile and therefore can not be used in others apps and/or your car-kit.

Before you install the app, please test whether your configuration allows access from outside of the work-profile to your (business) contacts.There are two ways to test this, being:
- start your phone app and search for a contact that is in your business contacts. If the contact is found, the tool will work.
- install the free test/demo version of the app. This app will sync 5 of your business contacts. The test/demo version can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zaanweg.aecontacts

The app performs a one-way synchronisation. Any changes made to synchronised contacts within the personal-profile will not be synchronised to your work-profile.

The app has two options 'RUN SYNC' that will perform the actual synchronisation and ' TEST SYNC' that will create a scrollable list of entries that will be created during a synchronisation.

You can also enable scheduled background synchronization by flipping the switch on the homescreen. As long as you leave the app open, either in the foreground or the background, synchronization will start every 6 hours. After a reboot of your device you will need to open the app again to enable the schedule.
