Is there any way to Automate deploying Sharepoint add-ins?
I was able to deploy the add-ins directly into the site, but I need to automate the add-in deployment from App catalog to the site. Also, I need to bypass the trusting process. Can someone help me out?
Take a look at the Add-Ins side loading technique: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vesku/2015/11/20/automating-add-inapp-installation-to-sharepoint-sites-using-csom/
Side-loading is what I am doing now. Since we are installing the app through streaming, we cannot maintain versions. So we could not use the advantage of App Catalogs. Also automating the Trusting process is my main goal.
- No I don't believe automating the trust process can be accomplished. I vaguely remember this coming up some time ago and the answer was 'no'. It would defeat the purposes of trusting the app in the first place.
