System Android - Manage Google Play app store
Hello, I use Intune as MDM in “Corporate-owned, fully managed user devices” mode and Samsung KME. We use the "Managed Google Play app store" to deploy our apps. We have two applications in...
Yes we have faced this with Android Enterprise.
We got it to work now both with internally and externally "private" apps
At the end the app will show up in Intune and we can choose to deploy different "tracks" "versions" to different groups.

- Thank you for these articles.
Unfortunately, we have another problem blocking us:
Google has closed our Developer account and therefore your solution cannot be applied.
We do not have access to the menu described in your article, they are greyed out. And we read, that once the Dev account is closed, there is no solution to reopen it 😞
We tried to create a new gmail account to open a new developer account but Intune/MEM cannot manage a single Google Play synchronization account.
And if we try to disconnect the current account, this tells us that we must reset all 1500 mobiles, something impossible to do, knowing that we are in production.
Is there a way to switch google accounts without erasing everything?Hi
sorry I do not understand exactly what You are saying?
If your dev account is closed/terminated your published apps Will be removed from the Play store.
in Intune you create/link a separate Google play (admin) account (not dev) to been able to publish/ push public/private apps
Your Dev account can be reinstated if your apps were suspended by the reason, and that reason is resolved.
Try to resolve the root cause of your app suspension
also if You own the app You can Change the Bundle ID to something unique
example add company name at the end or something similar or of external app Ask external developers to make the Bundle ID unique

- Our account was closed in 2021 following a payment default by the former manager who left our company.
I have an appointment tomorrow with the developer of the apk application in error, I would ask him to change the bundle ID to something unique
Thank you and I will keep you informed of the outcome.
