Overview

Managed Google Play is Google's enterprise app store and the sole source of applications for Android Enterprise. You can use Intune to orchestrate app deployment through Managed Google Play for any Android Enterprise scenario (including work profile, dedicated, and fully managed enrollments). 

You must have connected your Intune tenant to Managed Google Play. (Connect your Intune account to your Managed Google Play account)

If you intend to enroll work profile devices, make sure you have configured Intune and Android work profiles to work together in the Device enrollment workload of the Azure portal. For more information, see Enroll Android devices.
