I'm publishing my Flutter apps for iOS on a service called Macincloud, where i rent a mac using a personal account.
I'm new to mac os, and i have a question about xcode/apple developer accounts:
If i log in on xcode with my apple developer account, can other users on the same mac use that account as well? And do administrators have access to my xcode account?
I'm aware that my certificates are located in my keychain, and that other users can't access those. And i delete my code from the mac everytime i log out, so administrators can't get access to it.
But i'm not sure about how this works with xcode/apple developer accounts.
I have multiple user accounts on my machine that I use not only for my own stuff, but for clients as well. I create a new user account for each client as way to sandbox things between clients. I do work in Xcode for those clients.
The developer accounts you setup in Xcode in the Preferences are only for that specific user. I switched between a few accounts to confirm this.
Admin accounts can of course circumvent things. For example, my personal user account is the admin whereas my other client accounts are not. When using my admin account, Using my personal account I can change the permissions as I want which would let me see certain things.
However given this is a paid service, I would suspect that unless the admin was rogue, they have very little incentive to checkout out your stuff.

Do the updates work if the app is installed with a different account but is currently logged in with own account?
I would like to deliver the Android devices with my pre-installed app and the devices will receive updates later if the customer logs on with his own account.
They will work, but this kind of installation is not recommended and could be consider a security risk and Google may notice that one account has logged on numerous devices and block the account.
it is better to install the app via APK file without logging on with any account. you can get an exact Google Play APK from Google Play console.
I update the company mac to the new OS big sur. It was doing fine before the login but once the update was done, the AD user is not able to login once its not connected to the corporate network or if it is on outside network. It just keeps on asking to reset the password. But if it is connected to the corporate network, it works fine. Already check with the settings, all is check, like create a mobile login and all those stuff.
I had the same issue, to fix it I had to go into our Device Management site (AirWatch, though I've heard the same things from InTune and other management tools), and disable the "Password" profile. Once AirWatch synced again it allowed me to log in without the "Reset Password" prompt.
Other things I learned:
For the first couple of days I had this issue I was able to reset the SMC and it would allow me to log in until I disconnected from the VPN again (at night).
I was able to reset the password on local accounts (I have a local test account that would accept a new password but it had weird restrictions I had never set like not being dictionary words, being over 12 characters, etc. I had to use something like 1qaz#WSX3edc$RFV for it to work.
If I logged in as a local admin account I was still locked out from using my domain joined account to perform admin functions on the computer and make server connections, it didn't give me the change password prompt, just failed like I had the wrong password.
Just putting this here for people who have to defend their choices to the higher-ups:
On a corporate domain the Password profile being set manually for Mac is redundant as long as you have the profiles in your management suite set to not allow local account logins and the password requirements are set in AD. This forces you to login with an AD account and AD will enforce the password requirements.
There is no information about certificates of provisioning profiles in the Role permissions list. We already have tried App Manager and Developer, they both don't work, unfortunately.
It must be the team agent if you want to use the auto-signing feature. There is only one team agent permitted per app development team.
I have a user that uses a Mac in the IOS environment while the rest of the users use Microsoft. She has access to multiple shared inboxes, but her Outlook (for Mac) only displays her personal account. When I tried to add the rest of the accounts, it is asking me for a password, but they are shared accounts that do not have passwords.
Can you please advice?
Thank you,

Please follow these steps to add a Shared Mailbox in a Mac Machine. It should not prompt you for credentials if you have permissions to access the mailbox.

I think you are getting the credential prompt because you are trying to add another Exchange account by using additional mailboxes credentials. This method is not recognized as adding a shared mailbox, because you are adding the additional account by using its own credentials.
I am implementing an integration with Google Drive, which is to show a user's Drive files on our own website (after a 3-legged OAuth2 authorization).
So it is not a webapp that you will connect to the Google Drive UI, and thus I don't see the need to publish it in Apps Marketplace.
My project is created with my personal (free) account on console.developers.google.com,
and I'd like to confirm here: if not published, will it still work with any types of accounts, especially with enterprise accounts(e.g. Google Apps for Work)?
It does not need to be published as long as the domain administrator has not disabled Drive Apps. If a domain admin has disabled Drive Apps, I believe publishing to the Google Apps Marketplace is required so that the domain admin can install the App for all domain users.
