Posted on by Olister Rumao 3,967

Hi,
We've created the extension and deployed in Business Central container. I tried uploading the .app file that is generated during compilation. The deployment status failed with error 'Publish operation failed with code PackageValidationFailed. Details: Package validation failed. Please contact Administrator for more information.'.
Kindly guide.

    RE: How to upload .app file to Business Central Trial Production environment

    I sort of had the same issue. I finally managed to upload with the function Upload Extenstion in the Extensions page.

    Until it succeeded the only feedback I get in the page 'Deployment Status' is: Failed. I couldn't find a reason for the failure.

    Does anyone know where to get more details about the failure?

    Hi Olister,

    Thanks - this seems to be helping already on my issue. I am still not confident making table extensions, so I will stick to pageextensions, pages etc. for now.

    Hi Povl O,

    The reason my app wasn't getting uploaded in Business Central as it would fail in the tests mention in the below document. I rectified it and it works perfectly fine.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-codeanalyzer-codecop-rules

    Especially the I didn't Permission Set for the Tables.
    Download the sample and try it.!

    Have you tried upload the default HelloWorld app created by Visual studio Code? My extension(it contains a pageextension)  works. I guess

    Hi Jaikechen,

    For signtool to recognize the .app file run the follwoing script in Powershell

    Install-NAVSipCryptoProviderFromNavContainer.

    The issue I'm facing is that the .app file doesnot get uploaded even after the package is signed.

    Hi,

    I am new to Business Central, so please forgive if I didn't answer correctly. I just installed my app successfully. Here's my approach:

    1. Install Dynamic NAV 2008 to develop computer, otherwize sign tool cann't recognize .app format.

    2. Create a pfx file, open powershell as administrator, run command ' MakeCert -sk myNewKey -n "CN=HartogJacobs" -r -ss my MyCert.pfx

    3.   Copy myCert to developing directory, open 'Developer command Prompt for VS 2017',  run command 'SignTool sign /f MyCert.pfx /t timestamp.verisign.com/.../timestamp.dll HartogJacobs_ALInvoice_1.0.0.0.app'

    Then the extensin is installed

    I have same issue, and to me it seems that only some type of extensions are allowed.

    I have done some tableextensions, xmlport, pageextension - but if I try to make a new table - I get message PackageValidationFailed - and is left in complete darkness as to what is going on.

    I didn't think this feature of manually uploading an .app file was coming, so I was thrilled.

    Today, I am just frustrated after so many failed attempts to figure it out.
