Microsoft Intune announces support for Android enterprise purpose-built devices

Hi there, the documentation does jump around quite a bit and I found it hard to follow, especially as a first time Android Kiosk Admin. I consider myself quite proficient in Intune app deployments, MAM, MDM etc but I struggled to understand what was required of an organisation to be able to use Intune to deploy and manage Kiosk devices. Having said that, I have managed to get it to work in both single-app and multi-app mode.

My question however, is how does one allow a device to still make calls or SMS using GSM when the Managed Home Screen only displays the deployed apps? I have tried assigning and deploying the Google LLC Phone and Messaging apps but that doesn't seem to be the right solution. Also can one modify the Home Screen in terms of where the app icons are located? I couldn't find any documentation on configuring the Managed Home Screen.

We have a client that requires a Kiosk device to have their LOB app, make calls, SMS, use location information and scan barcodes. They also need the device to be encrypted, but I imagine that would be a separate Intune Device compliance policy.
