Hello!

 

rikwang 1. We can confirm the EOS date is December 2024. We've had a look at the doc, and can only see December 2024 specified. Feel free to send us a screenshot of where you might be seeing August 2024 so we can share this feedback with the appropriate team to rectify.
2. For devices without GMS access in China running Android 14 or earlier, we will continue allowing device administrator enrollment and will maintain limited support after EOS.
