Publishing apps for users

As we saw in the previous section, apps built in Power Apps Studio can easily be added as tabs or sideloaded as personal apps inside of Teams. Another way Power Apps integrates into Teams is through the app store. This allows power users and development teams to build enterprise apps and distribute them for end users to install to Teams. The first part of this process is to generate the app package.
