Approve Managed Google Play store apps (in-Intune iframe)

Approve Android apps in the embedded Google Play store inside Intune — one action both approves and syncs. Set 'keep approved' for new permissions, and remember approving is not enough: you must also assign to a group.

Intune admin center (Apps > All Apps > Create > Managed Google Play app)

Step 1. In Intune go to Apps > All Apps > Create.

Step 7. Assign each app: open it > Properties > Edit (Assignments), add the target dynamic device group and set the update mode (Default / High Priority / Postponed). Unassigned apps never appear on devices.

Step 8. If the store shows 'Custom' mode (after Collections were used), reset via Apps > Managed Google Play > Store layout > Reset to Basic (this deletes all collections).
