Converting a Website to A Desktop App...Deployable via InTune?
So, we all know that you can convert websites to app via ***Three Dots --> Apps --> Install Site as App. ***But we're having trouble trying to package this in a way that is deployable via InTune to our managed devices. The installed "apps" don't seem to be actual apps and just initiate an Edge windowed link with some minor differences. Here is the target that the generated desktop shortcut for the app comes up with.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=kapnocohlealppmjepimjkjjldkdojkd --app-url=https://my.app.com/ --app-launch-source=4
Is there a way to generate an app ID without a requiring user's clicks and just have it deployed autonomously?
Thanks :)

To avoid any misunderstanding, we appreciate your help to clarify something：
1.Which app type did you want to deploy via intune?
2.Did this app have an installation package that includes installation .exe file or .msi file? It is provided by the app vendor.
If there is anything update, feel free to let us know.

- We want it to be a windowed full-screen app in the same way 'Installing a site as app' does. I'm not sure what type that would entail.
- It doesn't look to have one. Edge is just packaging it with a different target for the shortcut (see path above).
Thank you!

Without installation package, I didn't find a method to deploy this app as a desktop app via intune.
Please keep this post and let's wait if someone else can share some helpful information.
