The REST API allows me to programmatically deploy a new set of reports to a Power BI App Workspace, but there is no way to then Publish this App to make it available to the users via the REST API. This is stopping me from creating a complete deployment system for Power BI reports for use in a Continuous Deployment process.

Currently I have to manually navigate to the App workspace and press the 'Deploy App' button in my browser.

RE: Publish App via REST API

This needs to be part of the PBI product roadmap as a "must" - its an helpful feature, especially if a large number of apps/reports are to be published.

RE: Publish App via REST API

This is very important for us to remove manual intervention in the deployment process

Issues like this are what is currently stopping Power BI being an enterprise-scale solution.

In my DevOps set-up this is still the missing link.

RE: Publish App via REST API

We too need an API that allows the refresh of the App.
Better yet, it would be great to have an API that allowed you to Copy the App.
In this way, you could prepare the App's in a "Staging" workspace and the deploy it to multiple Workspaces.
