Our company use GSuite with standart EMM Provider (Google Mobile Management).
There is a way to use Android Management API in this case.
You cannot use the Android Management API to manage the same devices that are managed by G Suite. The Android Management API is an API called by EMM providers, and in the case of G Suite the EMM provider is G Suite itself.
However you can set up devices using the Android Management API directly and still add your G Suite account on it. It would work as long as you haven't set advanced mobile management in the G Suite console.

I'd like to publish an app on the G Suite Marketplace that allows user and group management/provisioning via SCIM 2.0. Where do I need to go to configure that?
This article from 2016 made me think it would be possible (https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2016/07/automatically-provision-users-with-scim.html) but I cannot find it anywhere in Google's documentation or Marketplace SDK?
We currently user SCIM as our primary method for integrating with the Identity Providers used by our enterprise clients. Some enterprises use GSuite for SSO though. Our current app in the Google Marketplace doesn't use SCIM and therefore has to be maintained separately.
I have a Raspberry Pi3 device which has Android Things dev preview 0.6.1 installed. On completing certain operations, the device needs to send data to Google Cloud Storage. To do so it must have an API key to authenticate itself.
In Android devices it could be done easily using by integrating Google Sign in Option but since my Android Thing device doesn't have any interface, Google Sign In could not be implemented in it.
I have gone through github project Android Things Weather Station Sample which is using Google Service Account to publish data to PubSub. To do so, it generates and imports a credential.json file into the project and somehow generates credentials from it.
So my question stands is, without user consent, can we use Google Service Accounts to authenticate with Google Cloud Storage? If yes, how can we generate access token from it ? If no, is there any other method to authenticate with GCS?
The simplest and most secure way to authenticate your IoT devices with Google Cloud is using Cloud IoT Core to publish data over MQTT or HTTP into Cloud Pub/Sub. Cloud IoT Core is a bridge designed to securely manage large fleets of devices and authenticate them with your cloud project.
Take a look at the SensorHub sample app on GitHub, which is similar to the weather station, but uses Cloud IoT Core to authenticate and publish instead.
As Shubham stated, using a service account is one way to authenticate devices. Otherwise you'd need to build a mobile companion app which you use to authenticate the user. Then you would have to transfer that token to the IoT device.
In case anyone faces the same issue, I found this document which has explained the way to authenticate devices with Google Cloud without the consent of a user.
I am asking me if there is a way to deploy SAP hybrid apps (programmed in WEB IDE) for Android / iOS without having a "local" HAT connector installed?
My intention is that with all this cloud services it should be possible to consume a "build for Android" service in the cloud instead of installing the build stuff on a local developer machine.
This question is a little bit related with these posts:
SAP Mobile Integration with android
SAP HANA Cloud Platform for mobile apps
Yes, this has been implemented end of last year. The prerequisites are as follows:
Subscribe to Portal service
Subscribe to Fiori Mobile service
Create a "default" launchpad in Portal service
Enable the Hybrid App Toolkit plugin in the WebIDE
Now when you create new apps in the WebIDE, on the first page there is a "mobile" checkbox that you need to select. If you have done this, you can trigger a cloud build via the "Fiori Mobile" context menu that you get when you right-click your project. You can find a more elaborate guide here.
Azure App Services Mobile Apps can provide a Custom API hosting service which looks very similar to API Apps.
What is the real difference between the two?
Is it possible to consume Mobile Services from API Apps Node Backend ? Is there any Mobile Apps SDK available for NodeJS ?
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-node-backend-how-to-use-server-sdk/
Azure API Apps is for hosting APIs that will be consumed from a variety of clients, and where it is acceptable to codegen a client, or make direct REST calls.
Azure Mobile Apps defines a client and server SDK with a protocol for communication that adds additional functionality for things such as offline sync. Offline sync is not possible with API apps, because there is no actual client SDK, just tools for generating one for different platforms.
Is it possible to host an Azure Mobile Service? (Published on my own server)
I only want to use the Mobile SDKs to sync tables on mobile applications, I don't need push notifications.
I also want to have a Web API controlling this data in the same project, is it possible without having NuGet Packages problems?
Other question, do I need the Azure Mobile Backend to make it work with the Mobile SDKs (iOS, Android, etc)?
If those solutions don't work, I'll be hosting this on Azure and probably managing the data with another Web API self-hosted.
You may want to consider Azure Mobile Apps which allows full control of your deployed site.
The Mobile Services backend, or Mobile Apps server SDK is required for the Azure Mobile client libraries to work.
