Powershell command not working for Publishing the app

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Nitin Verma 21,698 Moderator

Hi All,

I am using a POWERSHELL command to publish the AL app extension in business central, but seems that it not working at all, it asking to enter the User id and Password and then error. Not sure what is the wrong in the command.

$PublisherAppClientId = '413ac35b-e0b6-4610-9a53-72f94d476bf8'
$PublisherAppClientSecretSecret = '9w38QXXXXXXXXXXXXXXLqIRpGAAb95blu'
$appId = '9cd39e6XXXXXXXXXXX956fc360154c'
$scopes = 'api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../'
$token = Get-MsalToken `
-ClientId $PublisherAppClientId `
-Scopes $scopes `
-TenantId $appId `
-ClientSecret (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret -AsPlainText -Force) | Select-Object -Property AccessToken

$token.AccessToken | Get-JWTDetails
$authContext = New-BcAuthContext -refreshToken $token
$apps = 'C:\temp\apps\'
$environment = 'DEV_Sandbox'
Publish-PerTenantExtensionApps -bcAuthContext $authContext -environment $environment -appFiles $apps

    Hello,

    The scope is not correct. For OnPrem this should be:

    $PublisherAppClientId = 'REMOVEFIRSTPART-129c-4435-89f1-bedb3175afd6'

    $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret = 'FpD8REMOVEDVALUECt4eZQSEMaxw '

    $appId = '0b71cREMOVEDASWEL'

    $scopes = 'REMOVEFIRSTPART-129c-4435-89f1-bedb3175afd6/.default'

    $token = Get-MsalToken `

    -ClientId $PublisherAppClientId `

    -Scopes $scopes `

    -TenantId $appId `

    -ClientSecret (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret -AsPlainText -Force) | Select-Object -Property AccessToken

    $token.AccessToken | Get-JWTDetails

    Did you add a scope to your Azure AD app?

    Hi Marco Mels ,

    I did follow steps but again I am failing, I am trying to install BC app in Saas version.

    $PublisherAppClientId = '413acXXXXXXXX9a53-72f94d476bf8'
    $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret = '9w38Q~PJoXXXXXX-pmLqIRpGAAb95blu'
    $appId = '9cd39e6bXXXXXX-956fc360154c'
    $scopes = '413ac35XXXXX9a53-72f94d476bf8/.default'
    $token = Get-MsalToken `
    -ClientId $PublisherAppClientId `
    -Scopes $scopes `
    -TenantId $appId `
    -ClientSecret (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret -AsPlainText -Force) | Select-Object -Property AccessToken

    $token.AccessToken | Get-JWTDetails
    $authContext = New-BcAuthContext -refreshToken $token
    $apps = 'C:\temp\apps\'
    $environment = 'DEV_Sandbox'
    Publish-PerTenantExtensionApps -bcAuthContext $authContext -environment $environment -appFiles $apps

    Hello,

    The following should work:

    $PublisherAppClientId = 'xxxx-129c-4435-89f1-bedb3175afd6'

    $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret = 'FpD8Q~Sxxxx'

    $appId = 'tenantID'

    $scopes = 'api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default'

    $token = Get-MsalToken `

    -ClientId $PublisherAppClientId `

    -Scopes $scopes `

    -TenantId $appId `

    -ClientSecret (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret -AsPlainText -Force) | Select-Object -Property AccessToken

    $token.AccessToken | Get-JWTDetails

    $authContext = New-BcAuthContext -refreshToken $token -tenantID $appId -includeDeviceLogin

    $apps = 'C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\AL\ALProject3\Default publisher_ALProject3_1.0.0.0.app'

    $environment = 'SandboxBE'

    Publish-PerTenantExtensionApps -bcAuthContext $authContext -environment $environment -appFiles $apps

    Default publisher_ALProject3_1.0.0.0.app

    Publishing and Installing.......completed

    Is that something you can try as a workaround? You can also raise a question on Freddy's Blog.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Marco Mels ,

    I have again tested

    $PublisherAppClientId = '413aXXX72f94d476bf8'

    $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret = '9w3-pmLqIRpGAAb95blu'

    $appId = '9cd39e6b956fc360154c'

    $scopes = 'api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default'

    $token = Get-MsalToken `

       -ClientId $PublisherAppClientId `

       -Scopes $scopes `

       -TenantId $appId `

       -ClientSecret (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret -AsPlainText -Force) | Select-Object -Property AccessToken

    $token.AccessToken | Get-JWTDetails

    $authContext = New-BcAuthContext -refreshToken $token -tenantID $appId -includeDeviceLogin

    $apps = 'E:\APPInstall\'

    $environment = 'DEV_Sandbox'

    Publish-PerTenantExtensionApps -bcAuthContext $authContext -environment $environment -appFiles $apps

    Now its giving me Scope error.

    Hello,

    You are right, forum is automatically removing https from the scope for readability purposes. I will try to add it again (just remove the empty spaces from the url):

    $scopes = 'https : // api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default'

    Hope this will work this time.

    Yes, it took one step ahead, but again saying that token is not valid.

    Hello,

    This should work fine for the authentication part. Also ensure you are using latest BCContainerHelper.

    Uninstall-Module BcContainerHelper -force

    Install-Module BcContainerHelper -force

    $PublisherAppClientId = 'a6b7d1c2-removed'

    $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret = 'FpD8Q~removed'

    $tenantId = '0b71c379-b93c-48bb-removed'

    $scopes = 'https : // api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default'

    $bcauthContext = New-BcAuthContext `

       -clientID $PublisherAppClientId `

       -clientSecret (ConvertTo-SecureString -string $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret -AsPlainText -Force) `

       -scopes $scopes `

       -tenantId $tenantId

    Hope this helps you to move forward.

    Hi Marco Mels ,

    Again its failing, but this time its authenticated, but publish command not working.

    $PublisherAppClientId = '41310-9a53-72f94d476bf8'
    $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret = '9kb-pmLqIRpGAAb95blu'
    $appId = '9cd3956fc360154c'
    $scopes = 'api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default'
    $bcauthContext = New-BcAuthContext `
    -clientID $PublisherAppClientId `
    -scopes $scopes `
    -tenantId $appId `
    -clientSecret (ConvertTo-SecureString -string $PublisherAppClientSecretSecret -AsPlainText -Force) | Select-Object -Property AccessToken
    $bcauthContext.AccessToken | Get-JWTDetails
    $apps = 'E:\APPInstall\'
    $environment = 'DEV_Sandbox'
    Publish-PerTenantExtensionApps -bcAuthContext $bcauthContext -environment $environment -appFiles $apps
