    Hi, did you install the v27 extension on a version earlier than v27?
     
    Thanks.

    Hi, 

    Same kind of issue is happening here from last Friday when publishing my app to particular Environment (Test Sandbox). 
     
    Error parsing version string:. Path 'value[6].applicationDependencyVersion', line 1, position 4418.
     
    There were no issues when publishing earlier.
    There is no change in app.json and no platform or application update in BC side recently.

    But there is no error if that same app is published to another environments (like FAT). so the issue is not in that extension app side.
     
    Another notable point is that error has occurred only when an app is published thru github CICD or "Upload Extension" action in BC. Not only that particulate app, same error happened even publishing other apps also. 

    But If an app is published from VS code than no issues. 
     
    I suspect that something happened in that TEST environment.
     
    Please share your inputs, If anyone has any idea for this.
     
    Thanks,
    Karthik

    Hello,
     
    The error is basically because your compiled .app ended up with a bad platform/app dependency version inside the package, and the most likely cause in your app.json is "platform": "1.0.0.0" (that’s not a valid/minimum platform for BC 27). Either remove platform (if you don’t reference System objects) or set it to the real platform version from Help & Support → Troubleshooting → Platform (something 27.x.x.x), then rebuild and upload the new .app.

    Hello, Ive experienced the same issue. What fixed it for me was to delete and reclone the environment (Sandbox). Ive noticed this on multiple environments and tenants as well. 
     
    My app.json:
     
    {
      "id": "REDACTED",
      "name": ""REDACTED",

    It is a know issue, Microsoft is currently in the process of releasing a fix. Once a hotfix has been released, it will resolve the issue. For workaround remove any Dev or Designer extension from your Environment.

    The error is due to an invalid platform version ("1.0.0.0") in your app.json, which isn’t compatible with BC 27. Remove the platform entry (if not using System objects) or update it to a valid version (27.x.x.x), then rebuild and upload the .app.
