Automating Win LOB App Deployment to Intune via Microsoft Graph API

Question

I've been researching automating the process of deploying a Windows LOB app to Microsoft Intune, following the guidelines provided in the documentation Add a Windows line-of-business app to Microsoft Intune.

In my attempt to use the Microsoft Graph API to achieve this, I referred to the endpoint POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceAppManagement/mobileApps for creating a win32LobApp object. However, I encountered a challenge with passing the content of the app during this process.

Challenges Encountered:

• The documentation does not provide clear guidance on how to upload or pass the app content (e.g., the installation files) when using the Microsoft Graph API for this purpose.
• Could you please clarify whether the Microsoft Graph API supports the automation of the entire process of adding a Windows LOB app, including the upload of app content?
• If it is possible, could you provide detailed instructions or examples on how to properly pass the app content through the API?
• If the current API does not support this functionality, could you advise on the best alternative approach to achieve this automation?

@Sergii Machulin, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, I find a link describe PowerShell script to add LOB. And it needs a series of steps to do this. For more details, you can refer to the following link:

Note: Non-Microsoft link, just for the reference.

Hope the above information can help.
