How to Make Mobile Apps Work with Microsoft Intune App SDK

Appdome is a no-code mobile app security platform designed to add security features, like the Microsoft Intune App SDK, in mobile apps.

Appdome’s no-code mobile app security platform offers mobile developers, DevSec and security professionals a convenient and reliable way to protect Android and iOS apps without coding. When a user clicks “Build My App,” Appdome leverages a microservice architecture filled with 1000s of security plugins, and an adaptive code generation engine that matches the correct required plugins to the development environment, frameworks, and methods in each app.

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites to build secured enterprise apps. There is no need to wrap or manually code the Microsoft App SDK to your mobile apps. The Appdome technology adds the relevant standards, frameworks, stores, and logic to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.

Appdome for Microsoft Intune is one of the premier solutions available on Appdome. Appdome makes it fast and easy to build the Microsoft Intune SDK into any iOS or Android app, no matter how the app was built. Once the build is complete, you can deploy the secured App directly to Intune, and then deploy the apps to mobile users from there. All data created within the App will be encrypted and protected inside a container, preventing other applications from accessing the app’s data. This allows you to enjoy all the features the Microsoft Intune SDK offers as well as the additional security of Appdome Mobility Suite and BoostEMM^TM by Appdome.

Configure your App with additional features (optional).

If you’d like or need additional control over the Microsoft Intune SDK implementation or need to configure the implementation in your app, please take a look at the following knowledge base articles:

Appdome Mobility Suite – provides detailed, gradual control over the Microsoft Intune SDK implementation.
Intune BoostEMM^TM – allows developers and mobility professionals to connect the App to Microsoft browsers, email clients, etc.
Intune MicroVPN – provides secure, mobile enterprise connectivity for any mobile App (connecting to enterprise SSL, VPN, and Proxies).

Each of these features should be added to your selections before you click Build My App. That way, sections in these categories are included in the automated integration completed on Appdome.

Congratulations! When your implementation is complete, you’ll see the notice below. You now have a mobile App fully integrated with Intune SDK!
