Custom app installation with AMAPI

Question

Thanks to the keen eye of @jasonbayton for spotting this update in the documentation:

https://developers.google.com/android/management/manage-custom-apps

The lack of this feature has been a key reason I've avoided any AMAPI based EMM (looking at you Intune!) for fully managed device deployments. This is certainly a welcome enhancement to AMAPI and one that I'm honestly surprised Google delivered on.

I think I can finally see the writing on the wall that Custom DPC will eventually now die given that AMAPI is finally catching up. I still need file system push and pull for it to truly be a replacement but this is a major step in the right direction.

What are the community thoughts on the matter?

The only thing i can tell you by sure is, that many people will tell you to avoid Intune (just search for it here in the community, you will find several cases where thius is stated and my own test on it also showed the same).

And there are MDM's which can push/pull files to/from the devices already.
