Fully managed Android Devices can access to Play Store
Background:
I have enrolled Zebra TC22 handhelds running Android 13 into Intune using the Corporate-owned, fully managed user devices profile.
Issue:
Initially, the Google Play Store displayed only the company approved apps on devices. However, a week later, I noticed that all devices could access the Google Play Store and install apps such as Instagram. The option “Allow access to all apps in Google Play” under device restriction is set to “Not Configured,” yet devices still have access to all apps on the Play Store.
I conducted an experiment by enrolling brand new devices. Initially, these devices could not access apps on the Play Store. After allowing access to the Play Store, I could install any apps I wanted. However, after reverting the “Allow access to all apps in Google Play” setting to “Not Configured,” the policy did not take effect, and the devices could still install apps from the Play Store.
Does anyone know how to block access to Google Play or prevent users from freely installing apps?
Thanks.
