Best way to share a hidden Windows Store HoloLens app?
We're trying to give remote private beta testers access to our HoloLens app. Sideloading is too difficult as they are more basic users so we submitted a visibility=false app to Windows Store. Since they can't search for the app by definition how do we download it on a HoloLens ?
We tried a bit.ly link to the Windows store page for our app on Edge on the HoloLens but that doesn't redirect to the store. Would love any ideas.
Alternatively we are thinking to make the visibility = true and require you enter a password once you open the app but not sure that would get accepted to the store?

So I figured it out thanks to the nice folks on the HoloLens developers slack. You gotta use the special URI not the www based url.
ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=XYZ
Where XYZ is from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/company-name/XYZ
