Deploying Embedded Canvas apps

Hi All,

I am trying to deploy the embedded canvas app solution to another environments however getting the below issues -

Steps i followed for deployment -

Created a solution and added the canvas app and the entity and respective form on which the canvas app is placed in the solution
Deployed the solution via Azure pipeline using export and import solution step

Issues -

1) The App owner in the destination environment is an random 'application user' instead of the 'system deployment user'. The pipeline runs through the deployment user so not sure why the App owner is an application user?
2) Also it generated a new App id after deployment so i had to again modify the form properties to point to the correct appid

Is there a way to keep the Appid constant accross all environments so modifying the form would not be required everytime?

3) In the destination environment again i had to share the app with all users, is there a way through which i do not need to share the app after it is deployed in the next environment?

The above issues becomes a problem if the app needs to be moved to several environments cos then the form will need to be modified again and even sharing needs to be done again

Kindly suggest. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
