Add How to manually sync an Android device guide (#43326) 
I've included the developer options instructions here, because when I
started testing on Android I believe this was required. But while
testing on a device after a factory reset, I didn't need to enable
developer options.

How to manually sync an Android device

Android hosts sync data automatically when they change, but changes may not appear immediately due to Google rate limiting.

There is a way to manually sync an Android device, which can be useful for testing purposes.

Sync policies

  1. Go to your Work Profile in Settings:
    1. Google devices: select your name at the top of Settings, then select your Work Profile.
    2. Samsung devices: select Google, then select your Work Profile.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and select Device Policy.
  3. Select the three dots in the upper right corner, then select Sync policies.
    • The message at the top of the screen should change to "Synced now".

Developer options

On some devices, you may need to enable Developer options first.

  1. Go to Settings > About phone, and select Build number seven times.
    • A message will display during this period: "You are now x steps away from being a developer."
  2. Enter your PIN when prompted.
    • After successfully authenticating, a message will appear: "You are now a developer!"

To disable Developer options:

  1. Go to Settings:
    • Google devices: select System > Developer options.
    • Samsung devices: select Developer options at the bottom of Settings, under About phone.
  2. At the top, select the toggle to turn off Developer options.
