"Acme inc. needs one of their applications to be able to communicate across work profile boundaries, they heard that Google has released this feature recently, however they are not sure about the minimum OS version that supports this feature. As the solution consultant, would you be able to tell Acme inc. what is the minimum OS version that supports this feature?"

Android 11 introduced the ability for applications to communicate across work profile boundaries using the INTERACTACROSSPROFILES permission. This feature allows a personal app to interact with a work app, or vice versa, provided both apps have the necessary permissions and are configured correctly by the device policy controller. This is crucial for use cases like a personal calendar app displaying work events or a work-related VPN extending to personal traffic. Android 9, 10, and 12 do not represent the minimum OS version for this specific cross-profile communication feature; Android 11 was the release that enabled this functionality.
