Publish App via REST API

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

APIs to publish reports are not nearly as useful to us if we can't publish the apps that go along with them.

Badly needed for error free deployment. Any feedback from the team on this one?

Can't wait for this API ! Badly needed for CI/CD deployment process.
Now also managing APP user permissions via the RestAPI would be really useful as well.

RE: Publish App via REST API

This is definitely needed as a change management process.

RE: Publish App via REST API

We deploy many reports to MANY Apps and everything is automated with the exception of having to tediously click the series of Update buttons. It takes longer to manually click all of the buttons than it takes for us to deploy a whole stack of reports to all of our apps. PBI Team, please please please make this happen.

RE: Publish App via REST API

Yes, PLEASE implement this ASAP as this lacking capability precludes any real CI/CD automation
