Have a look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/in-development#device-management
Something is in development for system apps:

System apps will be supported on Android Enterprise devices. In Intune, you will add an Android Enterprise system app by selecting Client apps > Apps > Add. In the App type list, select Android Enterprise system app.

Thanks for the docs link PKlapwijk It mentions a September release date for this feature, any idea on a specific date for this or is it just an estimate target date for an in development feature? The reason I ask is we are deploying about 150 Android enterprise devices in October in support of a new ERP and obviously need some of these core system apps available before deployment. The Samsung Gallery app is fine as I have been able to install as part of the enrolment via the managed google play store, however the Samsung camera app is annoyingly not available. I am looking to find a away ASAP to restore/keep/reinstall the system Samsung camera app whilst enrolling the corporate dedicated devices via Intune. (I have raised a support case with Microsoft)

LewisTaylor No idea.
Usually there are multiple updates during a month for Intune as you can see here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/whats-new
But it is unknown when a specific update is released. And if there might be an issue with a new feature, it could also mean it is delayed. So we can just wait and see if it shows up in de portal.
