Can't See Scoped App in Studio After Publishing from Different Instance

Dwayne N · ‎05-16-2018

Hello, I've just started playing around with scoped app development. I created an app in Studio in our sandbox instance and published it to the repository. Then I went into to our dev instance and downloaded/installed the app from the Applications list. But now I can't seem to connect to it in our dev instance via Studio. The app I just installed doesn't show up in the list that comes up in Studio. Any ideas?

Hi Dwayne

The studio will not let you dev in studio in an instance that isn't the one it was created in.

I ran into this recently with an app I'd created and I wanted to see some rules in the test instance and there was no entry in the studio launcher.

Went back to my dev instance where I created it and all was good.

If you go to the Applications module on any instance that its deployed on other than the creator instance you should notice that it appears in the downloads tab

Be real careful on cloning

If your prod app is at 1.3 and you are at 1.5 in dev and you clone dev will be back at 1.3

This is a real pain but kinda makes sense. So you need to plan your clones and make sure you deploy your latest app code before you clone.

From memory in the instance you created the app in doesn't appear in download it appears under develop. So you don't get the update button.

I remember having to deploy to prod and do another clone to get dev back.

Maybe there is a better way but at the time I was pointed to a blog that just said don't do it

So be careful
