@ykuijs FYI.

This was new resource was submitted by @dannyKBjj and merged last week in PR #5401.

@dannyKBjj, were you aware of the resource @ricmestre is mentioning and that is was capable of also managing the iOS policies?

If this is a duplicate, we will have to remove the newly added resource again. Working on a PR now and will include this rollback in that PR.

[dannyKBjj]

Are you sure? Because I was testing with what I believed to be the latest release and it was not exporting those policies (hence my creating the module), there are Managed App policies (which might be what this existing module does) and managed device policy which targets the apps (which is what mine does).... I.e. within Intune GUi - Apps>App Configuration Policies > create > managed devices... Which despite the name brings you 'Create App Configuration Policy' (for managed devices, rather than managed apps)

[dannyKBjj]

Unless this other module was in a very recent release (like within last month, as I can't say I've been religiously updating since downloading the module) I don't think it is anything to do with mine.

[ricmestre]

@dannyKBjj See below, I'm able to export the same policy Apple iOS - Outlook Configuration Profile using both DSC resources, difference is that IntuneAppConfigurationDevicePolicy also works for Android policies.

EDIT: And yes both policies are Managed devices policies

[ricmestre]

@dannyKBjj IntuneAppConfigurationDevicePolicy has been made available back in May in version 1.24.529.1

[dannyKBjj]

Fair enough, I have submitted another module to support Android which was also accepted (but is not in latest release). I guess that is also redundant and will need removing (IntuneAndroidManagedStoreAppConfiguration).

[ricmestre]

Yep, just looked at your code and IntuneAndroidManagedStoreAppConfiguration is also duplicate, I'm not even saying which way is better, but since there's already an older version available for several months that's the one that we should use.

[dannyKBjj]

I'm about to submit a load more modules for things I don't think are exporting, I will make sure i'm on latest version and do a re-export of everything from my tenant to double check before I do.
