How to deploy your custom .apk files to android fully managed devices from Intune
Hi Shabbir !
If the private play store is no longer an option, the line-of-business function should be the way to go.
Just to be sure, have checked the it has been assigned to the correct group(s)?
Could it be that you have restrictions set on installing applications from untrusted sources or installation from outside the play store? I'm not sure but that might be conflicting with this install method.
Edit: I've checked it myself since its been a while that i've used this but the line of bussiness function only works when a device is enrolled as Device Administrator and not as Android enterprise. Since DA is no longer support, you might have no other option than installing it by hand on each device.
Interesting. Then Intune seem to have some limitation which (some) other MDM dont have as they provide other functionalities to deploy apk files.
Will keep this in mind if someone asks me again if we want to switch to intune again.
to make it even more interesting, there is no official documentation from MS that confirms this "issue". Strange move from Microsoft if you ask me.
I found it in the configuration if a line-of-business app (the dropdown menu belongs to "Targeted platform" option):
Hi Michel, thanks for the info but manual installation on each device will be almost impossible for us, as we have 1000+ devices on which we want to push this custom application.
