Intune LOB App Deployment (iOS)
The Line-of-business (LOB) app deployment method in Microsoft Intune allows administrators to distribute custom, in-house developed applications (e.g., .IPA files for iOS) directly to managed devices.
- Used for apps not in public app stores.
- Requires the app package file (.IPA for iOS, .APK for Android, .MSI/.EXE for Windows).
- Enables direct control over app distribution for internal applications.
