What is the correct format for the extensionsPermissions.xml file to use with the bcsandbox-master build?

Hi all,

I'm currently developing a new extension and want to implement the permission sets correctly from the beginning.

After starting with "AL: Generate permission set containing current extension objects" there are two compiler warnings:

warning AL1026: An error occurred during XML validation: 'Invalid entitlements element'.
warning AL1026: An error occurred during XML validation: 'Invalid membership entitlements element'.

The package will be created successfully but does not include the permissions file. After changing the file a bit the warnings disappear.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PermissionSets>
  <PermissionSet RoleID="TEST" RoleName="TEST">
    <Permission>
      <ObjectType>Table Data</ObjectType>
      <ObjectID>50000</ObjectID>
      <ReadPermission>Yes</ReadPermission>
      <InsertPermission>Indirect</InsertPermission>
      <ModifyPermission>Yes</ModifyPermission>
    </Permission>
  </PermissionSet>
  <Entitlements>
  </Entitlements>
  <MembershipEntitlements>
  </MembershipEntitlements>
</PermissionSets>

Now I'm getting an error message on publishing the app from vs code: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I've been looking for a solution for quite some time, but I haven't found anything. I hope someone out there could help me!

Thanks in advance!

    and I think below values should be integers

         <ReadPermission>Yes</ReadPermission>

         <InsertPermission>Indirect</InsertPermission>

         <ModifyPermission>Yes</ModifyPermission>

    0 = false

    1 = true

    2 = indirect

    This change also did not change the result.

    <ObjectType>TableData</ObjectType>

    there should not be a space between table and data

    Even removing the first line unfortunately does not change the result.

    do you have a full file to verify?

    The warnings still appear and the permission set is not included in the app.
