Best way to have two versions of the same app

Dear innovaphone,

Could you please clarify what is the best way to maintain two versions of the same app on the same platform?

For example, if I need to have some "stable" version which is ready for distribution and is used for pre-release testing and "develop" version which is not very stable and used for development purpose only.

The version I deploy from Visual Studio I can use as "develop" version.

But what is the best way to add a "stable" version?

Best regards,

Sergey

Hi Sergey,

you could rename the built binary and upload it to your AP manually through the AP Manager (there is an App Upload button).

Then you define a unique App ID which you always use for uploading your stable release version and this App ID must be different to the App ID which is used while developing through Visual Studio. The binary file name should match this app id!

After uploading this new App with a different App ID, the new App will show in the AP Manager in the Apps tree.

You can then create an instance manually and another PBX App object for this instance.

Greetings,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I've tried this approach and it works.

Have a good day!
