We are excited to see the continuous growth on the submissions of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) solutions to the app source and on the usage of the SharePoint store for extending experiences for SharePoint and Microsoft Viva. Here are the top 10 most wide used ISVs based on the solution installations from the store and/or from Microsoft AppSource during April 2024.
SharePoint Framework is extensibility model for Microsoft Viva, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Microsoft 365 app and SharePoint. It enables the same code to be used easily across the Microsoft 365 with this widely adopted tooling which uses industry standard tech with easy and automatic SSO and hosting. Usage of SPFx is growing steady and we have currently tens of millions of monthly active users in Microsoft 365 on custom extensibility build with SPFx.
Here are the latest roadmap items around SharePoint Framework and store:
- Chart card support for the Viva Connections with the SPFx 1.19 release.
- Deprecation of SharePoint add-in and Azure ACS authentication models - UX powered extensibility should be transformed to us SharePoint Framework powered implementations. Add-in model was introduced back in 2012 and has not really evolved since. This deprecation does not impact SharePoint Framework (SPFx) solutions.
- Additional capabilities and features for SharePoint Framework solutions in Microsoft 365 as part of the SPFx 1.18 release.
- Enabling Microsoft Viva Connections targeted solutions, powered by SharePoint Framework, in the app source and store - Will be automatically set for suitable SPFx solutions as part of the submission pipeline
- Extending SharePoint Framework solutions across the Microsoft 365 with support for Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Viva, Outlook, Microsoft 365 app (Office), SharePoint and more - see the v1.16 release announcement for more details
- Alignment of SharePoint Framework solution packaging model with the Microsoft Teams packages - include the best of both worlds and enable SPFx powered solutions across the Microsoft 365
- Support for SharePoint Framework solutions in the Microsoft Teams store - no exact schedule, dependent on the previous bullet point
- Support SharePoint Framework extensibility for list and library new, edit and view panels
- and more to come...
What about AI extensibility story with SPFx? - Yes. We got you covered and more to come within 2024. More details during spring 2024. Don't miss out the Microsoft Build 2024 conference to hear more.
