Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello,

I have created the application in power apps canvas app that uses dataverse, outlook connectors, and power automate flow.

I have submitted my app in the ISV success they keep sending it back saying validation error and pointing to the Appendix of validation I have tried re-packaging and changing code elements, but I am not sure which validation is that they want me to correct. when I download my app to package there are no dependencies, I have tried uploading my package in different environments to see the issues, but it works as expected.
Here's the offer comment.

I am trying to add the offer with base pricing, previously I had added the offers with Contact me option and I am following the same steps do I have to change that or which steps do I need to perform to know what issue needs to be fixed.

Hello @CU23100531-0 ,

The error message typically points to one or more of the following issues:

• Missing or misconfigured manifest files in your app package
• Unsupported connectors or dependencies not properly declared
• Incorrect solution packaging (e.g., not using the correct .zip structure)
• Metadata mismatch between your app and the ISV submission requirements

Even if your app works locally or in different environments, the ISV showcase process has strict validation rules that go beyond runtime functionality.

Steps to Fix It

1. Repackage Using Solution Export

• Go to Power Apps Maker Portal

• Export your app as a managed solution

• Ensure the solution includes:

⁠◦ The canvas app

⁠◦ All referenced flows, connectors, and tables

⁠◦ Environment variables (if used)

2. Validate with App Checker

• Open your app in Power Apps Studio

• Run App Checker to identify:

⁠◦ Missing references

⁠◦ Deprecated controls

⁠◦ Connector issues

3. Check ISV Showcase Requirements

• Review the ISV documentation for:

⁠◦ Required metadata fields

⁠◦ Supported connectors

⁠◦ Pricing and offer structure (e.g., “Contact Me” vs. “Base Pricing”)

4. Use Solution Packager (Optional)

If you're customizing the package manually:

• Use the Power Platform CLI to unpack and repack your solution

• Ensure all XML files are valid and consistent

5. Test in a Clean Environment

• Import your solution into a fresh environment

• Verify that all components deploy and run correctly

• This helps isolate environment-specific issues

If you’ve previously submitted offers successfully using “Contact Me” pricing, switching to “Base Pricing” may trigger additional validation checks. Make sure your offer metadata aligns with the pricing model you selected.
Also, avoid using preview features or experimental connectors unless explicitly supported by the ISV showcase guidelines.
