Canvas app imported within a managed solution miss...

Hello everyone,

I ran into an issue today, which seems a bit weird. I have a canvas app within a solution in my Dev environment. This canvas app has 41 required objects in its dependencies. I exported that solution as managed, and imported it into the next environment (Test) as managed solution. The import was successful and I tried to launch the app, only to discover my updates are not showing.

Long story short, I realised that the required object in the imported app are only 20 (compared to 41)!!

In my troubleshooting efforts, I uninstalled the managed solution and tried to imported again multiple times while trying to refresh and re-add the dependent object, and somehow the number raised into 35, the 6 objects left are flows stored within the same solution I am trying to import, but somehow, the app can't recognise them!

Can someone please help me with this issue that's driving me mental?

Find the missing dependencies and put them in the solution
for example if a column has a lookup column you need to include it in the solution or maybe some connectors or some references
so check what the error says and add the missing in the solution

Hi @OussamaOsman , thanks for the reply.

I get your point, usually, when you import a solution and there's some missing objects, it will give you an error, so you go and include the missing objects and try to import it again, I understand that, but that's not my issue.

My issue is that the solution was imported successfully, it doesn't show any missing components, but there is a difference in the components count between the exported and the imported solutions.

Required objects in the exported app's dependencies:

Required objects in the imported app's dependencies:

I'm not saying that this is the issue, but I am sure it is a symptom of the real issue.
