Last week I showed you how you can deploy apps with the new Intune on Azure portal. This weekend the Intune on Azure Service was updated and new features became available One of the features is the ability to add Line Of Business apps and deploy them. As promised I would update the blog or dedicate a new one, a new one it will be! 🙂 The wording of Line Of Business apps is maybe not ideal but in fact you are able to deploy native files with the extension IPA, APK and MSI to your devices. So no need for the Silverlight console anymore, for this part!
Apps can be added by going in the Intune on Azure Portal to Intune >> Mobile Apps >> Apps and click Add.
Next you are available to upload the app you need.

The apps will be listed as follows in the Apps list in the Intune on Azure portal;

Adding the IPA, APK or MSI files will be as;

Another nice step in completing the Intune on Azure service!
Till next time!
