There's a known issue when launching Android line-of-business (LOB) apps that are using the Intune App SDK Xamarin Bindings, where the app will fail to load and only display a blank screen. This prevents app protection policies (APP, also known as MAM) for LOB apps from syncing with Android devices. Additionally, Microsoft does not currently support the Conditional Access grant “Require app protection policies” with Xamarin apps.

App protection policies for Android apps built with Xamarin will not sync to the device. There is no current workaround for this issue, our engineering team will plan to address this issue in a future release of the Intune App SDK Xamarin Bindings. If you are running into this issue, you can get unblocked by rolling back the app deployment to target Android 9 or using native Android apps not built with .NET.

Recommendation: Integrate the Intune App SDK for Android with native Android apps not built with .NET.
