MD-102 Practice Question: Allow app installation from App Store only (iOS)
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage iOS devices. You need to ensure that only approved corporate apps can be installed on these devices. Which restriction profile setting should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates may mistakenly think 'Require app store password' restricts installation to approved apps, but it only adds a password prompt. The correct approach is to block the App Store entirely via 'Allow app installation from App Store only' set to No, forcing all app installations to come from Intune management.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Allow app installation from App Store only
Configuring 'Allow app installation from App Store only' to 'No' effectively blocks the App Store, preventing users from installing any apps from the store. Only apps deployed via Intune (managed apps) can then be installed, ensuring only approved corporate apps are on the devices. Option B is incorrect because requiring a password for App Store transactions does not block the installation of unapproved apps if the user has the password. Options C and D are unrelated to app installation restrictions.

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Allow app installation from App Store only
Why this is correct
Correct. Setting 'Allow app installation from App Store only' to 'No' blocks the App Store, so only managed apps deployed via Intune can be installed, ensuring only approved corporate apps.
- ✗
Require app store password
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Requiring a password for App Store transactions does not prevent users from installing unapproved apps if they know the password. It only adds an authentication step.

Allow managed apps to unmanaged accounts
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. This setting controls data sharing between managed and unmanaged accounts, not app installation.
