Android Kiosk dedicated devices by integrating required permissions and UI behavior so that Maximo Mobile does not trigger Android security warnings related to overlays/appear-on-top.

We are using Android tablets in Kiosk Mode to run Maximo Mobile, as our organization relies on this mode to restrict device access. However, users frequently see a security warning pop up on the Maximo Mobile screen (see attached screenshot).

Our IT team has advised that the Maximo Mobile app may not fully support Android’s Kiosk Mode because it lacks the necessary integration to allow the app to “Appear on Top.”

Is it possible for the Maximo Mobile application to be updated or enhanced to support this functionality so that this security pop‑up can be prevented?
