Using TeamViewer for full Remote Control of Zebra Oreo Devices
With the release of Oreo OS for SD660 and 8056 based products, we have the ability to support full remote control of our devices via TeamViewer which is a feature that has been requested many times over the past few years. This uses the new Event Injection service which was added in Oreo and provides a method for third party apps to implement remote control without requiring app signing by Zebra. This service is enabled via the Service Access Action/Allow caller feature of AccessMgr CSP as detailed here Access Manager - Zebra Technologies Techdocs and requires a caller signature to be specified for the calling app (in this case the TeamViewer client). To simplify deployment of the required TeamViewer client and the XML required to enable it , the SN barcode below will deploy and enable the client on any Oreo Zebra device which has a preconfigured internet connection.
Usage:
1. Preconfigure an internet connection , run StageNow and scan the barcode below:
2. Run the TeamViewer QuickSupport app and (provided the required ports are open on your network) , the client ID should be displayed on screen.
3. Run the TeamViewer PC client ( I used the PortableApps version at TeamViewer Portable (remote PC support and screen-sharing) | PortableApps.com ) and enter the client iD to connect.
4. Press the confirmation button on the device side to confirm that remote access should be allowed.
5. Device should connect and you will have full Remote Control access from the PC including file transfer . Thanks to Adam Arruda and Niv Schwager for sharing the required info to enable this feature :-) Raw XML is also attached to this post for use in a different profile/deployment method.

Hi Ian,
This is a good news!
The Remote Control feature of TeamViewerQS is working now on TC5X Oreo!
But on TC2X running Oreo I got a StageNow error message of type: "<em><strong>The DSD version is higher than current supported DSD 4.4</strong></em>" after scanning the staging barcode. Do you know if this can be fix?
The TC2X has a limited features of MX features versus other TC5X/TC7X.
Especially those found in the MX Access Manager and required by the Event Injection technique in order to have Remote Control. Hence no Remote Control in TeamViewer for the TC2X.
See also the TeamViewer support article here for more info:

This works well, thank you! The barcode scanned in StageNow, it downloaded QuickSupport and I could remotely control the Android devices from my Mac via TeamViewer.
Is there any chance you can create a StageNow barcode to work with the TeamViewer Host app on the Android device instead of TeamViewer QuickSupport?
The Host app is what we use to access Android devices for troubleshooting and I can keep devices bookmarked in a list unlike the QuickSupport app.
We are unfortunately a Mac only environment so I don't have access to the StageNow app for Windows and am unfamiliar with it (to create profiles) as well.
Thanks,
Matt
