Automate Store submissions for UWP apps from DevOps Pipeline

Question
-
Recently in Visual Studio 2019 I'm able to publish Apps directly to store after build. Is this feature possible with DevOps in a Build Pipeline?

Thanks for the Clarification! You may refer to this SO link might be helpful.
Since Visual Studio Team Services is now Azure DevOps Services, TFS forum has been locked; It is still available for review in the Archived Forums folder. The discussion for VSTS has moved. Report a problem or provide a suggestion on Developer Community, get advice on Stack Overflow, and get support on Azure DevOps Support.

Thanks for asking question! You can use Azure Pipelines to create automated builds for UWP projects. Steps to be followed for this:
- Create a new Azure Pipeline
- Set up an automated build and choose the Universal Windows Platform template
- Then Add your project certificate to the Secure files library
- Configure the Build solution build task
- Configure the Publish Build Artifacts task
You may refer to official doc : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/auto-build-package-uwp-apps

Hello
and thanks for the response. As far as I see, this guideline stops at the point my question starts. I wanted to ask, if it's possible to upload my app to the store like Visual Studio 2019 does.
VS2019 can create an automatic submission and uploads the appxupload to the Store. At least for Android Apps and the Play Store I know how to do this.
In this link it is described how to do this for VS2019: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/package/packaging-uwp-apps#automate-store-submissions
Thank you again and sorry for late reply
