MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You are troubleshooting an Android Enterprise device that fails to install a required app from the Managed Google Play store. The device is compliant and has a valid work profile. What should you check first?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often assume user approval (Option C) is always required for app installations, but in Android Enterprise managed devices, silent push installations bypass user interaction, making the Managed Google Play app's active status the critical first check.

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
✓
Ensure the Managed Google Play app is enabled and active on the device.
The Managed Google Play app is the client-side component that processes app installation requests on Android Enterprise devices. Even if the device is compliant and has a valid work profile, if the Managed Google Play app is disabled, frozen, or not active, it cannot receive or execute the installation command from the EMM console. This is the first thing to verify because it is a prerequisite for any app deployment via Managed Google Play.
