Microsoft to offer app-store-like experience to distribute and update bespoke apps
Microsoft has promised a new form of private app store that can be used to distribute private apps to your device fleet.
This story starts with Microsoft's 2021 decision to retire the Microsoft Store for Business and Microsoft Store for Education, both of which gave users the tools to create a private app store from which their users could access software. Microsoft felt it could replace those two Stores because the mainstream Microsoft Store could be made to do the same job. The software giant also suggested its Endpoint Manager and Windows Package Manager could have a role in app distribution.advances those plans by revealing that the Microsoft Store will gain"a rich API layer based on Microsoft's Windows Package Manager."
"Management tools, like Endpoint Manager, provide deeply integrated app search, discovery, acquisition, and deployment capabilities that were not available with Microsoft Store for Business," the post adds, continuing:"With Windows Package Manager, we can now provide richer app experiences directly within the Endpoint Manager console including app deployment and app update controls.
Users will still be able to use Microsoft Intune to set policies describing which users can access which apps from the Store.
