Microsoft Intune previous releases for android 7

Emanuele 1

Hello, I have a mobile with android 7 and I the app was deleted from my mobile.
With the latest releases I cannot download the app again because it needs at least version 8 of android.

I cant really buy a new phone just for this, is there a way to download the previous versions from a safe place?
I need it to authenticate teams.

Hi @Emanuele

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

Unfortunately, Android is supported for Android 8.0 and later

Hello,

The solution, it's to install Android 8 or higher on the smartphone

You don't have any solution.
The only and easiest solution for use this apps, its to install a new OS Android version.

Best regards

I don't understand what is your problem.

You Know, you can't use Android 7.
You Know where find an old version.
What is the question, or the problem ?

Sorry, if i don't understand.

@Emanuele , Thanks for the reply. Based as I know, Microsoft Intune app is installed automatically during Andriod Enterprise enrollment like fully managed. Could you double confirm if the app you mentioned is this app?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-add-android-for-work

For this app, based on my research, I don't find any public official location to download the previous version. As the Microsoft Intune app is used during enrollment, but currently, the supported operating system for Android is 8.0 or later. If the purpose of this app is used for device enrollment into Intune and Intune management, we suggest to find a device with the supported OS to avoid the enrollment failure issue or any issue of Intune management.

Hope the above explanation can help.

Hello Crystal, thanks for the answer

the app is this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.windowsintune.companyportal&hl=en_CA&gl=US

I have found something in websites like ApkMirror, ApkPure, but I am not sure if it is safe.

It's ok, after a day of searching I see there are no solutions but risk an unofficial website or buy a new phone.

@Emanuele , Thanks for the reply. For the app, I find it is Microsoft Intune company portal app. The only doenload file I can find on official article is version 5.0.5675.0.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49140

For the app on third party, we can't ensure if it has risk. To avoid any further issue, we still suggest to use a Phone with a supported version.

Thanks for your understanding and have a nice day!
