Research direction

The payload names no source files or tests. The request is for MDM-delivered configuration (keyboardLangs and defaultKBLang) that sets the keyboard languages and default language on managed devices. Start by finding where the app stores its enabled keyboard languages and default layout, then decide how managed configuration would be read. The issue does not define the design or the done state, so a maintainer must agree on the approach before any code is written.

Feature description

Support for MDM policy/configuration strings. Can the app be set up to receive configuration data from an MDM policy? I looked in issues and discussions but couldn't find anything when searching for "MDM" or "policy".

Why do you want this feature?

I want to roll out this app at my place of work (non-commercial gov't org.) without having to manually set the correct keyboard language for every phone. Being able to configure something like { "keyboardLangs": "en,de,fr", "defaultKBLang": "fr" } via Intune would be fantastic.

Additional information

If this already exists then it should be exposed in some documentation somewhere.
