Posted on by Olister Rumao 3,967

Hi,
We've created the extension and deployed in Business Central container. I tried uploading the .app file that is generated during compilation. The deployment status failed with error 'Publish operation failed with code PackageValidationFailed. Details: Package validation failed. Please contact Administrator for more information.'.
Kindly guide.

    Are the container and business central the same version?

    Yes,

    I've made the container using the powershell scripts geneated from the Business Central through the Sandbox Environment(Container).

    Hi Stefano,

    I tried Signing the .app file and publishing using Publish-NavContainerApp.

    But there is an issue publishing the app.

    1. Check your app.json file that Platform and application has 12.0.0.0 values

    "platform": "12.0.0.0",

    "application": "12.0.0.0",

    2. When you wrote about Uploading an extension - you mean this button? If not - try it.

    Hi Andrey,

    I'm trying to Upload Extension on businesscentral.dynamics.com.

    I can actually upload to the container via Visual Studio code.

    I tried making the platform & application to 12.0.0.0. But it gives the same error.

    I have same issue, and to me it seems that only some type of extensions are allowed.

    I have done some tableextensions, xmlport, pageextension - but if I try to make a new table - I get message PackageValidationFailed - and is left in complete darkness as to what is going on.

    I didn't think this feature of manually uploading an .app file was coming, so I was thrilled.

    Today, I am just frustrated after so many failed attempts to figure it out.

    Hi,

    I am new to Business Central, so please forgive if I didn't answer correctly. I just installed my app successfully. Here's my approach:

    1. Install Dynamic NAV 2008 to develop computer, otherwize sign tool cann't recognize .app format.

    2. Create a pfx file, open powershell as administrator, run command ' MakeCert -sk myNewKey -n "CN=HartogJacobs" -r -ss my MyCert.pfx

    3.   Copy myCert to developing directory, open 'Developer command Prompt for VS 2017',  run command 'SignTool sign /f MyCert.pfx /t timestamp.verisign.com/.../timestamp.dll HartogJacobs_ALInvoice_1.0.0.0.app'

    Then the extensin is installed
