Understanding Intune MAM SDK Enforcement Changes in 2026
=========================================================
In the rapidly evolving world of IT, it’s essential to stay updated on changes that may impact your infrastructure. One such change is the enforcement of newer Intune Mobile Application Management (MAM) Software Development Kit (SDK) versions by Microsoft in 2026. This blog post aims to help IT admins and app developers manage MAM policies effectively during this transition.
Microsoft Enforcing Newer SDK Versions
——————————————–
Microsoft has announced that they will enforce newer versions of the Intune MAM SDK starting from 2026. This move is aimed at improving security, functionality, and compatibility for MAM-protected apps.
Impact on Wrapped Apps and Older SDK Versions
————————————————–
Wrapped apps using older versions of the Intune MAM SDK may face issues with policy enforcement and could potentially be excluded from management after the enforcement deadline.
Identifying Apps Using Older SDK Versions
———————————————-
To prepare for the enforcement, it’s crucial to audit your MAM-protected app inventory. You can use tools like PowerShell scripts or third-party solutions to identify apps using older SDK versions.
Steps to Update or Re-wrap Affected Apps
———————————————-
Once you’ve identified the affected apps, coordinate with vendors or app teams to update them to the latest Intune MAM SDK version. If updating isn’t possible, consider re-wrapping the apps using a newer SDK version.
Testing MAM Policies Before Enforcement Deadline
—————————————————–
Before the enforcement deadline, test your MAM policies on updated or re-wrapped apps to ensure they function correctly and don’t cause any unexpected issues.
