Can submissions to Microsoft Store be automated?

Question

We are working on automating deployment of UWP apps to Microsoft Store. We are able to generate the signed app package (.appxupload file). But could not find any way to publish this package automatically (through a tool or api) to Microsoft Store account. Is this possible? Any recommendations.?

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

There are no tools that could help you to submit the package automatically. But the Microsoft Store submission API might help. You could use Microsoft Store submission API to programmatically query and create submissions for apps, add-ons, and package flights for your or your organization's Partner Center account.

Please note it still is recommended to submit your package manually via the Partner Center.

You could check this document for more information: Create and manage submissions.
And you could check the sample code here: C# sample: submissions for apps, add-ons, and flights.

Thank you.
