Can it be assumed that if we do not see this preview policy in our tenant, that we have used device code flow authentication in the last 25 days, and therefore we are using device code flow authentication, and that we do not have to create an exclusion list?

    The delay in seeing the policy could be purely because of your tenant id falling under a later rollout batch. It is advised to create exclusion lists if your tenant has Android based shared teams devices.

      Just confirming, we are now in July, I still cannot see the CAP in a few tenant so far. Does this mean that it is still slowly rolling out?
