What's the command to uninstall/disable the alliance shield x app app if you make it the owner app?

Also is there a way just to implement owner app settings using the alliance shield app vs. using a laptop/desk computer??

One more thing. WHO in the hell is still on Android 6???
That really needed an update with the alliance shield x app.

If you hit the toggle it will warn you that you are about to disable device owner.

If you have Wireless Debug (Generally Android 11 has it) then you can use an app to get device owner, you still need to remove all of the Accounts on the device.

Seeing how the Note 7, the entire reason the Shield was created runs Android 6, I would assume they still need the Shield to support them. :)
