How do I get GUID of apps installed from Microsoft Store?


I have installed Ubuntu app from Microsoft Store on Windows 10 1903. For some reasons I want to know its GUID. How can I get that, may be using some command on CMD or Powershell?



Answer




  • Navigate to the Windows Store.

  • Enter the name of the app in the search bar.

  • Copy the app id from URL. The app id for Ubuntu is 9nblggh4msv6.

  • Now open https://bspmts.mp.microsoft.com/v1/public/catalog/Retail/Products//applockerdata after replacing the with the app id of the application.


  • The page's content will look like this:


    {
    "packageFamilyName": "CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc",
    "packageIdentityName": "CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows",
    "windowsPhoneLegacyId": "ba50f801-2d96-4517-a737-575f32f0fb61",
    "publisherCertificateName": "CN=23596F84-C3EA-4CD8-A7DF-550DCE37BCD0"
    }

    The windowsPhoneLegacyId is the required GUID.
