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 is the last bit we need for a full DevOps backed CI/CD for Power BI. Shame to see that such an easy step is not possible as a seperate REST call. Especially when the Pipeline API can handle this request.
RE: Publish App via REST API
We've been running a custom Selenium solution to publish apps for the past three years in DevOps CI/CD, would be nice to be able to do the same via API. One less thing to keep up-to-date as UI and login processes change.
RE: Publish App via REST API
Are we still waiting for this? In a multi tenant workspace architecture this is actually something painful to update the apps 1 by 1
RE: Publish App via REST API
Echoing sentiments below! This is a small addition that would make a big difference.
RE: Publish App via REST API
Any update on this? Would be the final piece to close the CI/CD process loop. Thanks!
RE: Publish App via REST API
This feature is critical for enterprise (non Premium) capacity customers to implement CI/CD pipelines. Its causing my team major headaches/impacting customer experience.
RE: Publish App via REST API
This should be added, functionality is already available as part of the deployment pipelines see:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/pipelines/deploy-all#pipelineupdateappsettings
But the deployment pipelines are just not enough for complex usecases.
RE: Publish App via REST API
Agree with everyone else here. It's a real buzz-kill to have to actually open a browser, navigate to the workspace of the published report & hit update app. Should have the ability to perform API call and refresh in power shell / power automate. Make this happen Microsoft!
