    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.

    This is badly needed for true CI/CD with Power BI.
    I can do everything else to deploy datasets and reports in through Azure DevOps PowerShell scripts, except this last step.

    Exactly how many votes do we need to get this functionality implemented? The button is executing "something". Couldn't Powershell call the same?

    Please add this feature to the product roadmap as it is critical for setting up a fully automated CI/CD pipeline for Power BI dashboards.

    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.

    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.
