Intune plans iOS 18 and macOS 15 minimums later this year

The period is dominated by two future Apple platform support changes and three targeted documentation updates. Intune will raise its iOS/iPadOS and macOS support floors later this year; the documentation also records an Android app version requirement, an Android BYOD enrollment limitation, and revised macOS PKG update guidance. No new feature launch is evidenced in this set.

  iOS/iPadOS 18 becomes the planned minimum after Apple’s iOS 27 release

  A Message Center plan-for-change notice says Intune will require iOS/iPadOS 18 or higher after Apple releases iOS/iPadOS 27 later this year. Administrators should check device compatibility and Intune reports; userless devices enrolled through ADE have different OS requirements.

• Intune · Device enrollment

  macOS 15 will be required for new enrollments after macOS 27

  After Apple’s macOS Golden Gate 27 release, Intune will support macOS 15 and later. Devices already enrolled on macOS 14.x or earlier remain enrolled, but new enrollments on those versions will be blocked. Identify and upgrade affected devices before the change.

• Intune · Android

  Android Intune app support now starts at version 2025.11.01

  The updated guidance says the minimum supported Microsoft Intune app for Android is version 2025.11.01, effective May 1, 2026; older versions might cause sign-in failures. Administrators can use Apps > Monitor > Discovered apps to find affected devices, while most users should receive updates automatically.

  Personally owned blocking is limited for AMAPI and newer Custom DPC devices

  The Android personal work profile guidance now warns that setting Personally owned to Block does not apply to Android Management API devices and is not reliable for Android 12 and later devices using Custom DPC enrollment. It documents corporate-owned work profiles or group-based enrollment restrictions as alternatives.

• Intune · App management

  macOS available PKG updates are documented as automatic

  The updated unmanaged PKG guidance now states that uploading a new version of an available app does not require users to select Install or Reinstall in Company Portal; the app installs automatically. This is a documentation-level correction to deployment expectations, not evidence of a newly announced feature.
