Same issue here. When you run Get-PnPAppInstance to get the App ID and try to install the app the following error is returned:

Install-PnPApp : {"error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException' was thrown."}}} At line:1 char:1

Any update on this?

@blair24 change your $ErrorActionPreference to "Stop" on a try catch.

did you try use the Get-PnPListitem ? @kutschinsl

[kutschinsl]

I'm not sure how Get-PnPListItem would be relevant?

[pcardosolei]

It is possible to get the same information or maybe more using the list item for tenant and site collection locations.

EDIT:

with the Get-PnPListItem there is more information available in the script

[kutschinsl]

The issue is that Get-PnPApp does not retrieve information from apps installed from the Microsoft store.
Get-PnPAppInstance does do this but it is marked as deprecated.
Could you explain how to use Get-PnPListItem to retrieve information about an App that has been installed from the Microsoft store?

[pcardosolei]

Do you have idea where the app is located?

I wish I knew - however apps from the store behave differently than those installed locally on the tenant or site catalog.

To me it doesn't make sense why Get-PnPAppInstance would be deprecated in favor of Get-PnPApp because they are returning different information. For example the App ID and the App Instance ID are different. In addition Get-PnPAppInstance give you information about the state of the app on the current site which is useful for provisioning scripts. Get-PnPApp only returns metadata about the app in the catalog which as you mentioned can be returned also with Get-PnPListItem.

To add to the above, see the output when running the two commands against the same web:

PS C:> Get-PnPAppInstance | Format-List Title, Id
WARNING: The command 'Get-PnPAppInstance' is obsolete. Use Get-PnPApp instead

Following this, is there any way to install a provider hosted add-in from app store using ALM API?
