Configuration profiles with Android Enterprise, with kiosk simple app, with .apk extension
Good afternoon.
I am developing a project whose objective is to configure the Android device in a kiosk to run just one application.
I have already created my Corporate-owned dedicated devices and my group.
I developed an app and I already have its .apk file, I have already added it to All Apps and its type is Android line-of-business app.
So far everything is fine, the problem comes from the create Configuration profiles part, I configured create platform Android Enterprise
and Profile type Device restrictions, but in Device experience, I configured it in Dedicated device and Kiosk mode Single app,
but when selecting my apk app it doesn't appear, I can't find it. How can I resolve this? I need it to be in kiosk mode,
run just one app and not let the user exit it. I'm waiting.

You are unable to add apk's directly to Android Enterprise Devices in Intune. The only way you can do this is uploading the apk in the Managed Google Play iFrame. See this guide for performing this:

The only thing is that de Package ID must be unique in the complete Google Play Cloud. This should not be an issue for you as you mentioned you developed the app yourself and you will also be able to change the Package ID if necessary.
