🚨 Deploy your Android Enterprise custom LOB APK files directly with Microsoft Intune🚨
Are you tired of the 100MB limit and “unique package name” errors when deploying internal Android apps via Managed Google Play?
I know we’ve discussed these exact limitations countless times in the HTMD community, but Microsoft has finally dropped a game-changer! 🚀
When creating an Android Line-of-business app, you can now select “Intune” as the App type and bypass the Managed Google Play store entirely.
Here is why this is a massive win for endpoint management
✅ Massive Size Upgrade: Upload .apk files up to 2GB hosted directly on Intune (goodbye to the old 100MB limit!). ✅ No Play Store Headaches: No more worrying about whether your custom internal app package name is already published on the public Google Play Store. ✅ Shared Package Names: You can now deploy multiple apps that share the exact same package name.
Supported Enrollment Modes:
📱 AOSP (user-associated and userless)
📱 Device administrator
📱 Android Enterprise dedicated
📱 Android Enterprise fully managed
⚠️ The Catch: This direct Intune upload method is not supported on Android Enterprise personally-owned work profile or corporate-owned work profile devices. You will still need to use the Managed Google Play app route for those!
This is going to solve so many headaches when dealing with custom vendor APKs and large internal applications. via
