To try and gauge interest beyond basic MSIX support, this has been split into the following ideas:
Please cast your votes for one of the above rather than this entry.
Well that confirms that we do indeed have multiple separate requests here that people are voting for.
Supporting MSIX as a package format (e.g. for new Teams, and Store apps) is one thing.
Deploying MSIX apps to AppAttach is another thing entirely, it's a totally new deployment method in addition to ConfigMgr/Intune.
However, there are very few MSIX apps coming from vendors still, and converting EXE/MSI apps to MSIX is yet another separate feature request. This one in particular would be very complex to automate, so we'd be interested in tracking these separately, so I'll be splitting this one up into separate ideas.
MSIX App attach is need for most of the Organisation as AVD is used widely. Adding this feature is huge help and required.
Let's go PMPC...
I see that competitors are getting ahead of you on this front.
+ 999 for PMPC to support publishing MSIX App Attach to Azure Virtual Desktop
This suggestion could be interpreted in different ways, as evidenced by the comments so far.
1 - PMPC to enable support for MSIX packages that comes direct from the vendors (like Teams) for publishing into ConfigMgr/Intune. This is being actively worked on.
2 - PMPC to convert EXE/MSI apps to MSIX and offer these in the catalog.
3 - PMPC to support publishing MSIX AppAttach to Azure Virtual Desktop / Citrix / VMware as an alternative publishing destination instead of ConfigMgr / Intune.
4 - PMPC to have the ability to trigger local infrastructure to start an internal automated process of converting an app to MSIX. This would only be achievable by integrating with existing 3rd party platforms designed for this task (of which there are several).
#4 seems the closest to the original request, but I feel many of these votes may be directed to #1. I propose this idea be split up into more specific requests so that we can properly assess customer demand for each feature.
