MD-102 App Configuration Policy Practice Question
Contoso uses Intune to manage iOS/iPadOS devices. You need to ensure that only approved apps from the Microsoft Store can be installed on corporate devices. What should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Do not confuse App Configuration policies with Device restrictions. App Configuration policies configure settings within apps; Device restrictions control device-level behaviors such as app installation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
iOS/iPadOS App Configuration policies
To ensure only approved apps from the Microsoft Store can be installed on corporate iOS/iPadOS devices, configure a Device restrictions policy (Device configuration profile) with settings such as blocking the App Store or allowing only managed apps. App Configuration policies cannot restrict app installation; they only supply app-specific settings.
