Whitelisting a sideloaded app for Android devices

If the Sideloaded App threat is enabled through the MTD console, when [email protected] for Android users install an app on their phone that wasn't downloaded from the Windows App Store or Google Play Store (including [email protected] for Android), it triggers a "sideloaded app" threat. If a sideloaded app is approved for your organization and you want to whitelist (allow) it, you can configure this on the MTD console before or after it is installed on a device.

If you chose not to whitelist UEM-managed apps through MTD console, Sideloaded App threats should not be bound to any compliance action.
