Hi Florian_Obradovic and TRIMEDX-AndrewM, Purchased apps can be assigned to groups using two types of licenses that Apple offers for iOS/iPadOS and macOS devices. See: How are purchased apps licensed? for more information.

Depending on type of VPP license assigned, end-users will receive prompts for VPP app installation in a number of scenarios documented here: End-User Prompts for VPP.

Lastly, learn more on how to deploy apps and books purchased in the Apps and Books section in Apple School Manager and Apple Business Manager here: Distribute content with Apps and Books in Apple School Manager and Apple Business Manager.

Hope this helps!

There seems to be another dimension to this issue. I experience this message on devices that are connected to our internally-facing wireless networks, which go through a number of hoops to get to the Internet. However, when joining them to an outward-facing network (e.g., our guest network), the message goes away and Intune immediately starts applying policies and installing apps. I am assuming there could be specific connections that, when blocked, would cause this message to appear?
