Just wondering if I missed something ...

Could it be that Apps from the Mac App Store do not work with Smart Groups in Jamf Pro 11.11 ?

The MDM Management history looks like this:

It turned out that it was a mix up of the Target Smart Group and the Site.

After setting the Site to "None" it worked again ...

Thanks for the quick response.

Free apps still need licenses. I see that you have 500 licenses for Remote Desktop but OneDrive which you are having issues with does not look to have assigned licenses.

The Licenses were assigned before switching the Targets to a Smart Group, but it looks like that they got lost now ...

I just created a new OneDrive Mac App Store Distribution in Jamf with no target at all, the result is like expected:
