Publish App via REST API

People are waiting for years already! @msft

Absolutely yes, please do it :-)

I'm also waiting for this functionality.

I use CI/CD and not is possible automate publish app, always I need publish manually.

Still critical for any serious deployment scenarios. Even just having the ability to update a specific app would be massively beneficial via a REST API call.

The powerbi API is like this forum service: half implemented... here you can add a post but you can't edit or delete your own previous posts, there you cannot re-publish your powerbi app... same same

We dedicated a month to automating the deployment of our client's reports and apps, including interactive PowerApps. We couldn't use PowerBI pipelines because the PowerApps visual doesn't support programmatic changes to the app reference when deploying to different stages. As a result, we had to modify the PowerBI PBIX file directly. Our goal was to deploy the entire stack seamlessly.

Navigating this process was challenging due to limited API documentation, especially for certain aspects of the PowerBI cloud infrastructure, like the Tenant cluster. After overcoming countless obstacles, we hit a brick wall: there's no API to automate PowerBI App deployment. After a month of effort and escalating costs, our frustration is palpable. The absence of such a critical feature makes us reconsider our initial decision to use Azure and PowerBI as our primary solution.
