Summary add mobileApp contract details (assignments, expanded type family, scope tag select) and spec/test coverage so App snapshots stay metadata-only yet still capture roleScopeTagIds. guard restores so scope tags are written back whenever a snapshot carries them, even without explicit foundation mappings, and document it via a new Filament restore test. keep existing restore/sync behaviors in place while ensuring mobileApp assignments and metadata continue to flow through the backup/restore pipeline.

Feature Specification: Apps (Mobile Apps) Metadata-Only + Assignments
Feature Branch: feat/008-apps-app-management
Created: 2025-12-29
Status: Draft
Input: .specify/spec.md (mobileApp scope) + references/IntuneManagement-master/Documentation/AppTypes.json (known app @odata.type values).
Overview
Add reliable mobile app (mobileApp) coverage for inventory, backup/version capture, and restore:
- Capture metadata-only snapshots for Intune apps (no content/binary workflows).
- Capture and restore assignments using the Intune
/assignmentsand/assignendpoints. - Accept common derived
@odata.typevalues for apps to avoid falseodata_mismatchfailures.
In Scope
- Policy type:
mobileApp(deviceAppManagement/mobileApps) in existing Policy/Backup/Restore flows. - Backup/version capture stores only metadata fields +
@odata.type(contract-driven). - Restore updates metadata fields on existing apps and reapplies assignments (with group + assignment filter mapping).
- UI continues to use the existing Policies/Versions/Backup/Restore Filament experience.
Out of Scope (v1)
- Downloading or re-uploading app binaries/content (Win32 content versions, files, etc.).
- Creating complex missing apps from scratch (where Graph requires app-type-specific required fields).
- App relationships (dependencies/supersedence) beyond what is already present in metadata.
User Scenarios & Testing (mandatory)
User Story 1 - Inventory and detail view for apps (Priority: P1)
As an admin, I can see Intune apps in the Policies list and inspect app metadata and assignments safely.
Independent Test: Sync policies; open Policies list filtered to “Applications”; open an app and verify metadata is readable and assignments are shown (when captured).
Acceptance Scenarios:
- Given apps exist in Intune, when the admin syncs and opens Policies, then apps appear under type
Applications (Metadata only). - Given an app is a derived type (e.g. Win32, iOS VPP), when viewed/restored, then it is considered in-family for
mobileApp(noodata_mismatch).
User Story 2 - Backup capture for apps (Priority: P1)
As an admin, I can capture backups/versions of apps with metadata-only payloads and optional assignments.
Independent Test: Create a backup with assignments enabled including at least one app; confirm the stored payload is metadata-only and assignments are captured.
Acceptance Scenarios:
- Given app backup is configured as metadata-only, when a snapshot is captured, then only whitelisted metadata keys are persisted.
- Given assignments are enabled, when capturing, then assignments are fetched via the configured assignments endpoint and stored alongside the snapshot.
User Story 3 - Restore assignments for apps (Priority: P1)
As an admin, I can restore app assignments (and metadata where supported) using group mapping with clear skip/failure reasons.
Independent Test: Restore an app backup into a tenant where group IDs differ; verify assignments are created/skipped with the expected outcomes.
Acceptance Scenarios:
- Given an app exists in the target tenant, when restore executes, then metadata fields are patched and assignments are applied via
/assign. - Given required group mappings are missing, when restore executes, then assignments are skipped with a human readable reason per assignment.
- Given the app does not exist (404), when restore executes, then the item fails with a clear reason (no attempt to create complex apps from metadata-only snapshots).
Notes
@odata.typematching usesconfig/graph_contracts.phpas the safety gate for restore execution.- App type-family values are sourced from
references/IntuneManagement-master/Documentation/AppTypes.jsonand kept conservative.
