Use GitHub action to create a deployment

Question

I have setup a GitHub action to build my application using these guidelines. It works perfectly and the imagepack is available as an artifact. I am now stuck as I do not know the best way to deploy my app to the devices.

I would like to create a deployment using a Github Action but it seems it is not possible using the Azure Sphere SDK build container since the azsphere cli does not support non-interactive logins. How should I proceed? Note that I am not looking for a way to sideload my app on a attached device.

@Peter Bons please consider using Azure Sphere API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure-sphere/deployments/create

When using the Azure Sphere API I believe you will be able to automate the process as long as you have a Bearer Token to impersonate your Azure Sphere Administrator role.

Please add a new feature request on feedback.azure.com Azure Sphere if you would like to have interactive logins done in a different way and share here the link.

Thanks!
