A way to programmatically disable the "Find my device" in gapps from being a device administrator

The trick is to disable gms - which clears device admin status, and then enable it again:

pm disable-user com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gms

I know most of you don't have GApps at all on board, but still it might be useful to know.
Best is, to run the script at boot, with a delay - in order to kick in only after "Find my device" was reactivated and kill it for good.

#!/system/bin/sh

(
sleep 60
pm disable-user com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gms
) &

Commands are in a backgrounded subshell in order not to delay boot.
Best way would be, to put it in your init.d, or execute it from Kernel Adiutor, or with Magisk boot hooks and put it in /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/.
