Hi everyone,
We are in the process of aligning our extension development in accordance with the major releases of BC.
We understand that:
When going through the official documentation, we cannot find information on how to upload an extension for a coming release of BC (and not the current).
For example:
How do we resolve this issue as we do not want to wait until after the major release and avoid having to manually reinstall the extension?
Thanks in advance!
1. You have to set Application and Platform properties in your app to next major version.
2. Correct
3. Good question, never came across this but you can wait to submit the next major compatible version till 1 week before the major version release so if there is any issues needs to be fixed in current before that then you can fix and submit to Microsoft.
Thanks for the reply.
1. In the link it states that the field is going to be removed. Do you know how you will deal with this in the future?
2. I am guessing that when selecting Next Minor, that the extension is not auto updated for current tenants and only available when installing the extension as per the text below?
"For minor releases, we do not auto-update apps. This is because of customer feedback and them not wanting their apps auto updated. The only exception to this is if an app will be broken in a minor release due to changes in the base product. In this case, we configure that app in our service as required. When tenants then get upgraded to that minor release, if they have that app, it then gets updated automatically. This is to avoid the app being broken for the customer.
For major releases, we do auto-update every app on every tenant to the app’s latest available version. We consider major releases to be our "refresh" releases."
3. Is there a way to work with already published versions or review version for older versions of BC? I ask so that I can understand on how to deal with a scenario where we have updated the extension in AppSource for the Next Major release but we have to fix a bug for the current version.
You have to set target release to Next Major under the supplemental content
