created issue #1

May 4, 2023 09:54AM

Component used: androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx
Version used: 2.8.1
Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Android 10, 13

Our app uses both JobScheduler (in older part) and WorkManager (in newer code)

We noticed that jobs and workers never start on Android 11 and 13 devices connected to a private network (no internet access).
Older devices (Android 8) work fine.

It seems to be related to JobInfo.setRequiredNetworkType creating a NetworkRequest with NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET and NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED.

On the JobScheduler side we fixed the problem by specifying the required network with a proper NetworkRequest instead of a networkType.
Unfortunately this is not possible with the WorkManager.

I believe that private networks are quite common in enterprise environment. The WorkManager is currently not suitable for this use case.
More generally it would be nice to be able define the required network more precisely.

In our case, the workaround we can think of are :

- Modify the URL used to validate the network (via OEM config), so that the devices believe they have internet access. It work but it's ugly and only possible for some devices.

- Migrate the code from WorkManager to JobScheduler. Interestingly enough we were previously considering the opposite.
