Windows Phone Application GUID Finder – Free Tool

The Windows Phone Application GUID Finder tool has been created to make your life as a Mobile Device Management Admin, Expert or Consultant easy when it comes to finding WP App GUIDs.

We noticed that since Microsoft changed it from simply being part of the Windows Store application URL, the process of finding application GUIDs was not a process people were familiar with while also being overly convoluted. Here at PowerON we spend a lot of time working with IOS management and since application Whitelisting was bought into the Apple Configurator and showed that you can simply search for an application and get the GUID, we wanted to make a very similar user experience in the Windows Phone World.

So now instead of going through a drawn out manual process just to get an application GUID for your Windows Phone 8.1 or Windows 10 Mobile you can simply search the store using our application, find the app you want and retrieve the GUID back.
