Direct Android line-of-business app management
You can now manage Android line-of-business (LOB) apps directly in Microsoft Intune without publishing them to Managed Google Play on Android Enterprise corporate-owned fully managed (COBO) and dedicated (COSU) devices.
With direct LOB app management, admins can upload APK files directly to Intune and deploy required apps to supported Android Enterprise enrollment types using a native Intune workflow.
Direct LOB app management enables you to:
- Deploy in-house LOB APKs to fully managed and dedicated devices without publishing them to Managed Google Play
- Manage the app lifecycle directly from Intune
- Create app configuration policies for directly deployed LOB apps, giving you the same configuration flexibility you have for Managed Google Play apps
