Microsoft reportedly decided to block employees from using Android devices to access its corporate platforms because Google's mobile services, including its Google Play app store, are unavailable in China. That leaves Apple's App Store as the only place for Microsoft employees in China to download and use the Microsoft Authenticator and Identity Pass apps

So in other words, Microsoft is not able to find a way for its own employees to install Microsoft Authenticator, without relying on a Google Store? Like by providing their own server where users can get an .APK file?

Especially since they have their own MDM, InTune.

I thought this was a joke at first, but then realized it totally made sense ;)
