How to install "Google Play Services for AR (aka AR Core) to an Android device on kiosk mode

I'm trying to install AR Core to a Corporate Own dedicated device and it's a nightmare.

The app is not available on Play Store under the search. Just using the direct link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.ar.core

If the device is not registered in Intune and install as a regular device, the app will be installed automatically (just an update will be needed) but if the device is installed using the dedicated device option in intune, the app won't install at all... If I use the direct link with a browser, the app will not be available for the device (the same one I used before).

Looks like the app is not available for corporate environments.

Not really sure how to solve this. The device must be in kiosk mode to be connected to the corporate network.

I've tried with the app's apk as a line of business app but it is not getting to the devices.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

    @LACUERDA ORTS, MYRIAM Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

    Please understand that line-of-business apps in Intune for Android are only applicable on Device Administrator managed Android devices- not Android Enterprise devices (Work Profile, Fully Managed, Corp owned Work Profile, Corp owned fully managed). You’ll need to find a way to deploy from Managed Google Play.

    So, it is suggested to try to publish this app directly in intune. Please refer to the following article:

    If there is anything update, feel free to let us know.

    Hi

    Sorry for the late response. I was on holidays

    The device I am trying to use the app in is fully managed.

    If I try to upload the app the way you suggested I get this error:
