Conversion support will be useful in many case including CI/CD implementations on Azure DevOps where we can store as PBIP file in git then convert to PBIX before publish. (since PowerBI API did not support PBIP files)

RE: Programmatically conversion between PBIP and PBIX files

The new developer mode in PowerBI desktop is a fantastic addition. We plan to use it extensively especially for the files in import mode, we would like to have the option to convert a .pbip (which is the format that git repos will hold) to a .pbix through DevOps pipelines. It would be even better if you can add this option to the Azure DevOps extension, Power BI automation tools.  From what I saw in the documentation this is not possible yet.
