Unable to find PFN

Question

Could you please have a look into the issue.

I'm unable to find the PFN of the new One Note app - https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/onenote/XPFFZHVGQWWLHB?hl=en-us&gl=us&rtc=1

When I try to find the PFN using the method mentioned in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/protect/deploy-use/find-a-pfn-for-per-app-vpn#:~:text=PublisherId%20%3A%208wekyb3d8bbwe-,Find%20a%20PFN%20if%20the%20app%20is%20not%20installed%20on%20a%20computer,-Go%20to%20https
seem to get the result "Item not found". 

For reference - https://bspmts.mp.microsoft.com/v1/public/catalog/Retail/Products/XPFFZHVGQWWLHB/applockerdata

But when I try for the older version of the One Note app, it works - https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/onenote/9wzdncrfhvjl

This seems to be an issue because when I try to search the One Note app in the Windows store the new version is only shown - https://apps.microsoft.com/store/search/onenote.

Since I deploy my apps using Windows CSP, the PFN is crucial for my use case.

If you could provide any insight on this, it would be much appreciated.

@Akshay Kiran, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my checking using the steps under "Find a PFN if the app is not installed on a computer". I got the same result as yours. It shows "Item not found". Based on my researching, I find it mentioned the package family name is deprecated. I think this can be the reason we can't get it.

In the link you provided, it mentioned to find a PFN for an app that's installed on a Windows 10 computer. Maybe you can install the OneNote app on one device to get the PFN.

I notice you want to deploy One Note via Intune. Actually, there's another method which is more convenient to do this. You can deploy OneNote by adding Microsoft 365 apps.

Here is a link with more details:

Hope it can help.
