Deployment of app file to Dynamics BC OnPrem

jordi79

hi,
In BC Online, you could upload and install app files. But this is not possible in OnPrem.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/ui-extensions

The upload of per-tenant extensions and the installation of AppSource extensions is not supported through the Extension Management page for on-premise installations. You cannot install AppSource extensions on-premises, including in Docker-based deployments.

Does this mean all changes to OnPrem installations have to be deployed via VS Code only?

No, you should use PowerShell: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.dynamics.nav.apps.management/publish-navapp

VSC deployment should only be used for development IMHO

Oh, and you should also read up on these powershell commands as you'll need them: Sync-NAVApp, Install-NAVApp, Start-NAVAppDataUpgrade and Unpublish-NAVApp

Thanks. I will give it a try. I am new to the AL, and learning the ropes.
