Hi,

I know it is possible to install an Android app from Amazon AppStore from Microsoft Store on a Windows 11 PC.

I read online that Microsoft Store for Business PCs is no longer supported, so my question is: What is the supported way to install an Android app on Windows Subsystem for Android on a Business managed Windows 11 PC, since Microsoft Store is deprecated.

Is it possible to do this using Microsoft Intune? If yes, can someone share documentation on this? I have been unable to find Amazon AppStore on Microsoft Intune Admin portal as documented in Microsoft Store apps (new) documentation.

If not currently supported, is this on the Intune roadmap?

Thanks!

@Ramit, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, I find Windows Subsystem for Android enables your Windows 11 device to run Android applications that are available in the Amazon Appstore.

But for Intune, it supports according to operating system.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/supported-devices-browsers#android

Meanwhile, for Android enterprise, it needs additional requirement which is required by Google:

Android Enterprise is available in your country or region: https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/6270910

Check your device to see if it supports Android Enterprise: https://androidenterprisepartners.withgoogle.com/devices

So for your scenario, I suggest contact Google support to request the feature.

Thanks for your understanding.
