Deploy Android Enterprise Apps via Managed Google Play in Intune
You need to deploy an Android Enterprise app to corporate-owned work profile devices. The app is available on Google Play. Which deployment method should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse Managed Google Play with general Google Play Store access, or incorrectly assume that Microsoft Store for Business can handle Android apps because of its 'Store' branding, but the exam specifically tests the Android Enterprise management channel.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Managed Google Play
Managed Google Play is the correct deployment method for Android Enterprise corporate-owned work profile devices because it provides a curated, enterprise-specific app catalog that integrates directly with Intune. Google Play hosts the app, and Intune uses Managed Google Play to approve, deploy, and manage apps on these devices without requiring user interaction.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Microsoft Store for Business
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Store for Business supplies Windows apps in MSIX, APPX and Win32 formats to Windows devices; it cannot deliver Google Play Android packages to Android Enterprise work profiles. It is tempting as Intune's native store integration, but that integration covers only the Windows platform.
- ✓
Managed Google Play
Why this is correct
Managed Google Play integrates directly with Microsoft Intune, letting you approve and deploy store apps silently to corporate-owned work profile devices without user authentication or sideloading. This satisfies the stem's requirement: the app is publicly available on Google Play, so no private or line-of-business packaging is needed.
- ✗
Apple Business Manager
Why it's wrong here
Apple Business Manager distributes iOS, iPadOS and macOS apps through the App Store; it has no mechanism to publish or assign Android packages to Android Enterprise work profiles. It is tempting because it provides zero-touch enrolment and volume app purchasing, but only within Apple's ecosystem.
- ✗
Side-loading via Intune
Why it's wrong here
Side-loading deploys an APK you host yourself, bypassing Google Play; the stem states the app is already published there, so managed Google Play is the intended channel. Side-loading suits in-house or line-of-business apps absent from Google Play, not Play-published ones.
