Review Motorola Android device configuration settings to determine whether a developer mode is enabled.

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Android Pie device.

On the MDM console:
1. Open Restrictions section.
2. Verify "Debugging Features" is set to "Disallow".

On the Android Pie device:
1. Go to Settings >> System.
2. Verify "Developer Options" is not listed.

If the MDM console device policy is not set to disable developer mode, or on the Android Pie device, the device policy is not set to disable developer mode, this is a finding.
