Embedded Canvas App Not Showing When App Name is Set on Component Attribute

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

I have a canvas app embedded on a model-driven app form via a custom field. I deployed that app to another env via solution transport. This created a new version of the app with a new ID. 

However, the app is not showing on my form in the new environment. Instead I get a blank screen, where when I inspect via the DOM, I see an error  "Sorry, we didn’t find that app.". When I set the app id component attribute on the field, it shows correctly, but I was under the impression that the app name should be prioritized over that so that I don't need to update that field after every deployment. The app names are the same between both envs and I have published the app in the new environment.

Has anybody seen this issue?

    Hello,

     

    No its based on the ID. Since the ID changed when moved, it won't work.
    Cheers

    That is not what the documentation says:

    "The canvas app control looks for the canvas app first by using the unique name found in the App name field. If a canvas app with that unique name can't be found in the environment, the canvas app control next uses the specified value in the App ID field to load the canvas app. Although you must enter values in both the App name and App ID fields, only one of the values needs to be accurate for the embedded canvas app to load in the control. Note that the canvas app must be in the current environment."

    I fixed it, had to use the solution name rather than the name of the app.
