Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A company is piloting Microsoft Intune for managing its Android Enterprise devices. They need to deploy a critical line-of-business (LOB) application that is not available in the Google Play Store to all corporate-owned devices. The application must be installed automatically and silently. Which deployment method should you use?
- ALine-of-business app (Android)
- BManaged Google Play app
- CAndroid Enterprise system app
- DWeb link app
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Line-of-business app (Android)
For deploying custom-developed or non-store applications to Android Enterprise devices, the 'Line-of-business app (Android)' type in Intune is the appropriate choice. This allows you to upload an APK file and deploy it directly.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Managed Google Play apps are for applications available in the Google Play Store (public or private apps published there). This LOB app is not in the store.
- C. Android Enterprise system apps are pre-installed system apps or apps granted system-level permissions, not for deploying custom LOB apps.
- D. Web link apps are shortcuts to websites, not actual applications that are installed on the device.
Intune Line-of-Business App (Android)
An Intune application type used to deploy custom-developed Android applications (APK files) that are not published in the Google Play Store to managed Android devices.
- Requires uploading the APK file directly to Intune.
- Supports silent installation on Android Enterprise devices.
- Ideal for internal, proprietary applications.
Memory trick: Android App: LOB is the custom key.
