How to uninstall android apps - Intune
- Hi Ali,
You will have the option to uninstall in Android only if the app’s type “managed google play store”. Means synced from your managed play store to Intune.
It looks like the app you trying to remove is Android Store App.
Hope this helps!

Because when you are in kiosk mode, you can choose which apps are visible to a user
I've configured it with Multi-app Kiosk mode (I believe that's what you're asking, please clarify if you're looking for some other piece of info).
Yes, I have limited the apps that are shown to the user, but if the Phone app isn't disabled, then phone calls still ring to the phone in the background, and then leave a flashing light notification (unless all of these settings are turned off in the System Settings).
Ultimately, my workaround is to get a data-only SIM card which will work fine. But it would still be nice to be able to disable or uninstall Android System apps that I don't want to be used on the device if needed.
techtest Have you tried adding the apps to the Android Enterprise system app store?
Apps/All Apps/Add+/Select App Type=Android Enterprise system app/Select
Name - Phone
Publisher - Android
Package name - com.android.phone
Add your group/s to the uninstall assignments section and create the app.
This will remove the app from the users view but not remove it from the device.
Once that is done the Phone app will be available in the Store Apps list in the Device Experience blade.
*Android Enterprise system apps will enable or disable apps that are already part of the platform. To enable an app, assign the system app as Required. To disable an app, assign the system app as Uninstall. System apps cannot be assigned as available for a user.*

I hope that helps. Good luck

There isn't a way to currently do this & don't know of anything planned in the near future
