APK file not getting published in the Private apps section from managed Google Play Store @
Hi Team,
We are trying to deploy an APK file in the private apps section from managed Google Play Store in Intune but its throwing an error continuously - "Can't publish app, please try again later."
We tried several times but the error remain constant. We are unable to understand what could be the reason which is causing this issue. Its super critical for our project .
Can you suggest any trouble shooting steps that need to be followed or any recommendations.

You are unable to deploy LOB (APK's) directly to Android Enterprise devices. This mechanism only works with Device Admin. There is no way around this, this is as designed..
