Private Android apps can now be published to up to 20 organizations.
Businesses using Google Mobile Management and other Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) providers can now publish a single private Android app to up to 20 different organizations. This update allows developers to publish apps to domains other than their own, removes the requirement for developers to be admins of the target organizations, and simplifies the delegation of app publishing to third-party developers. Security is maintained as developers must have the target organization's Organization ID and an admin must approve the app.

Updated setup flow for company-owned Android devices to improve ownership assignment.
Starting February 12th, 2018, the setup flow for company-owned Android devices (running Android 6.0+) will be updated to encourage correct ownership assignment. Instead of requiring users to check a box to assign ownership to their organization, users will be asked if they own the device personally. Unless they explicitly state personal ownership, the device will be auto-assigned to the organization, provided the G Suite account is added before any personal account.
