Prerequisites for Deploying Managed Google Play Apps
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Android Enterprise devices. You need to deploy a managed Google Play app to work profile devices. Which TWO configurations are required?
Quick Answer
The answer is that the device must be enrolled in an Android Enterprise work profile and the app must be approved in the managed Google Play store. These two configurations are required because deploying managed Google Play apps through Microsoft Intune relies on the work profile container to separate corporate data from personal data, and the app approval step ensures the app is licensed and available for distribution within your organization’s managed Play store. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of Android Enterprise enrollment modes and the specific prerequisites for app deployment, often trapping candidates who assume a personal device or Google account is necessary. A common memory tip is to remember that work profile enrollment and app approval are the only mandatory steps—no personal ownership or Google sign-in is needed, and kiosk mode is a separate configuration for dedicated devices.
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the requirement for a Google account (personal) with the managed Google Play account, or assume that work profile requires personal ownership, when in fact the enrollment type (work profile) is the sole prerequisite for deploying managed Google Play apps to work profile devices.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The device must be enrolled using Android Enterprise work profile
Android Enterprise work profile enrollment is the specific enrollment mode that creates a separate, managed profile on the device, isolating work apps and data from personal apps. This is the only Android Enterprise enrollment type that supports managed Google Play app deployment to work profile devices, as it binds the device to the managed Google Play store without requiring a personal Google account on the device.

Variation 1. Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Android devices. You need to deploy an app that is available in the Managed Google Play store as a required app. What must you do first?
easy- ✓ A.Connect Intune to the Managed Google Play store.
- B.Enroll the device in Intune.
- C.Install the Managed Google Play app on the device.
- D.Upload the app package to Intune.
Why A: To deploy a required app from the Managed Google Play store, you must first establish the connection between Intune and the Managed Google Play store. This connection is a prerequisite because Intune uses it to synchronize apps, manage licenses, and push required apps to Android devices. Without this connection, Intune cannot access or deploy any apps from the Managed Google Play store.
