Hi,
We have Multiple Dynamics 365 Apps (Line of Business) which are using the same shared entities (ex : account and contact). how can we manage common plugins and JavaScript code functionality across these multiple apps
your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Wahaj, Very interesting. I am working on multi stream model (different line of business) / Apps, How can we manage D365 Solution packaging and deployment specially in case of multiple apps.
your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You are welcome.
You cannot get App ID in a Plugin or Workflow, as these are not App aware.
App ID/Name/URL is only available at client-side.
I would suggest to identify your data based on one of these:
Again, the concept of Apps is related to Client Side, not the back-end.
If you still need the App ID in plugins, we have following workaround:
You can get the APP ID using JS:

Here is a similar thread:

Please note, same record can be accessed by multiple Apps, which makes it more complex. That is the reason, we should rely on Business Unit or Data.
If my answers are helpful, please mark these as verified (select 'Yes' under 'Did this answer your question?').
Thanks Wahaj for the detail explanation, can you please suggest how can we identify the app from which the plugin get triggered, can we use appid/app name to isolate between these apps as we are using the same plugin for different apps.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Please note, Apps are just container (UI) to bind following components:
This means, you can choose which of above components are available in an App. And you can control the access by Roles to the Apps.
Now, the plugins/JS, or other processes (except Business Process Flows) are available across the Apps.
This means, when you create or import a Solution, it is created or imported for All Apps.
Any plugins, registered on an entity, will be executed for All Apps. You can say, Workflows and Plugins are not App aware, they run as part of the platform.
Similarly, JavaScript web-resources are available to All Apps (as part of a solution), however you can use them in different forms, and forms can be included/excluded from an App.
To make it clear, lets say you have 2 forms on Contact, one for App1 and other for App2. You create one JavaScript Webresource (library) to handle on-load events on both forms. Now when you only include only 1 form in App1, still the JS web-resource will be available to the both apps.
To summarize, any Plugins/Workflows/Web Resources/Flows will be available and executed for all Apps, you do not need to manage these separately.
You can create Solutions to manage these components at one place.
