Summary
                Update your Intune mobile apps and Company Portal for Android by June 1, 2024, to avoid users being blocked from launching apps. iOS apps must use Intune SDK or wrapper v17.7.0 or later. Notify users to upgrade and consider enabling Conditional Launch settings.


More Information

Starting June 1, 2024, Microsoft is making updates to improve the Intune mobile application management (MAM) service. This update will require iOS wrapped apps, iOS SDK integrated apps, and the Company Portal for Android to be updated to the latest versions to ensure applications stay secure and run smoothly. Important: If you do not update to the latest versions, users will be blocked from launching your app.

Note that the way Android updates, once one Microsoft application with the updated SDK is on the device and the Company Portal is updated to the latest version, Android apps will update, so this message is focused on iOS SDK/app wrapper updates. We recommend to always update your Android and iOS apps to the latest SDK or app wrapper to ensure that your app continues to run smoothly.

How this will affect your organization:

If your users have not updated to the latest Microsoft or third-party app protection supported apps, they will be blocked from launching their apps. If you have iOS line of business (LOB) applications that are using the Intune wrapper or Intune SDK, you must be on Wrapper/SDK version 17.7.0 or later to avoid your users being blocked. 

What you need to do to prepare:

Plan to make the changes below before June 1, 2024:

  • Any of your iOS line-of-business (LOB) apps using older versions of the Intune SDK or wrapper must be updated to v17.7.0 or later.
  • For tenants with policies targeted to iOS apps:
    • Notify your users that they need to upgrade to the latest version of the Microsoft apps. You can find the latest version of the apps in the App store. For example, you can find the latest version of Microsoft Teams here and Microsoft Outlook here.
    • Additionally, you have the option to enable the following Conditional Launch settings:
      • The Min OS version setting to warn users using iOS 15 or older so that they can download the latest apps.
      • The Min SDK version setting to block users if the app is using Intune SDK for iOS older than 17.7.0.
      • The Min app version setting to warn users on older Microsoft apps. Note, this setting must be in a policy targeted to only the targeted app.
  • For tenants with policies targeted to Android apps:
    • Notify your users that they need to upgrade to the latest version (v5.0.6198.0) of the Company Portal app.
    • Additionally, you have the option to enable the following Conditional Launch device condition setting:
      • The Min Company Portal version setting to warn users using a Company Portal app version older than 5.0.6198.0.
