MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Which TWO app types are available for deploying apps to iOS/iPadOS devices in Microsoft Intune? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse web links (shortcuts) with actual app deployments, or mistakenly think platform-specific app types like Win32 or Android LOB can be cross-deployed, but Intune strictly enforces app type per OS platform.
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
✓
iOS/iPadOS app store app
Option B (iOS/iPadOS app store app) is correct because Intune supports deploying apps directly from the Apple App Store to managed iOS/iPadOS devices, either as required or available installs, using the built-in app type for store-published apps. Option E (iOS/iPadOS Line-of-business app) is correct because Intune allows uploading and assigning custom in-house .ipa packages for iOS/iPadOS, which is the standard method for distributing proprietary enterprise apps. Option A (Web link) is not an iOS/iPadOS-specific app type in this context; it is a generic web link app type used across platforms to pin a URL, not a native iOS app deployment type. Option C (Windows app (Win32)) is incorrect because Win32 apps target Windows devices, not iOS/iPadOS. Option D (Android Line-of-business app) is incorrect because Android LOB apps are for Android devices and use .apk or .aab packages, not iOS/iPadOS.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Web link
Why it's wrong here
Web link is not one of the two iOS/iPadOS app types in Intune; those are store apps and line-of-business apps (plus built-in and web apps on other platforms). It is tempting because web links can be published as apps, but that applies to managed web apps, not the iOS/iPadOS deployment types the question asks for.
- ✓
iOS/iPadOS app store app
Why this is correct
The iOS/iPadOS app store app type deploys apps sourced directly from the Apple App Store, linking to the store listing rather than hosting a package. This is one of the two supported iOS/iPadOS deployment types in Microsoft Intune, alongside line-of-business or store apps.
- ✗
Windows app (Win32)
Why it's wrong here
Win32 apps deploy .intunewin packages to Windows 10/11 devices via the Intune Management Extension; iOS/iPadOS devices cannot execute them. This is the right app type for Windows endpoint management. iOS/iPadOS deployment instead uses iOS store apps and iOS line-of-business apps.
- ✗
Android Line-of-business app
Why it's wrong here
Android line-of-business apps target Android devices through managed Google Play or APK deployment; Intune assigns them to Android enrolment profiles, not iOS/iPadOS. It is correct when enrolling Android Enterprise devices. iOS/iPadOS deployment uses iOS store apps and iOS line-of-business apps.
- ✓
iOS/iPadOS Line-of-business app
Why this is correct
iOS/iPadOS line-of-business apps are uploaded as .ipa packages and assigned directly to devices or users, satisfying the stem's requirement for an Intune app type. Unlike store apps, they need no App Store presence, letting organisations distribute in-house or third-party signed builds to managed iOS/iPadOS devices.
