Cannot Update Comp Portal App!

If you enroll iOS/iPad OS devices using Apple’s ADE method, these devices will not be compatible with the public store version of the Comp Portal app. It requires you to configure the Comp Portal app to support iOS/iPadOS DEP devices using the app configuration policy, failing to which users will report issues with launching the company portal. If you use CA policies, your users may be blocked from accessing corp data on their devices. 

Follow the below steps to configure the app configuration policy for the comp portal:

1. Open the Intune portal and navigate to Apps and iOS Apps.

2. Add Intune Comp portal app or use ABM to add the Comp portal to Intune

3. Go to Apps -> App Configuration Policies and click Add to create a new policy.

4. Select Managed Devices from the dropdown

5.  On the Basics page, set the following details:     

6.  From the dropdown, select Enter XML data and enter values for the XML property list as
    shown below:

<dict>

    <key>IntuneCompanyPortalEnrollmentAfterUDA</key>

    <dict>

        <key>IntuneDeviceId</key>

        <string>{{deviceid}}</string>

        <key>UserId</key>

        <string>{{userid}}</string>

    </dict>

</dict>

7. Click Next and assign the policy to your iOS device group(s).

Tip: If the company portal app is deployed via the VPP token on all your iOS devices, please ensure that you have set the VPP token to Auto-update the apps. 

Otherwise, users will receive an “Update unavailable with this Apple ID” error while opening the Comp Portal app.
