Installing app with uwp application management plugin fails with Version not Found error

[MickeyH71]

Attempting to install a package using the uwp application management plugin fails with exception code 183 version not found.

This appears to be related to https://github.com/ms-iot/azure-client-tools/issues/21 involving setting versioning on a direct method. However, installing an app package uses a desired property and not a direct method. No instructions exist for how to set the serviceInterfaceVersion on a property.

The plugin runs normally when initialized and can execute the direct methods successfully:

GetInstalledUwpAppsCmd
{
    "__meta": {
          "serviceInterfaceVersion": "1.0.0"
    }
}

However when the DesiredProperty is set, the package does not download and the 183 error appears in the log file (see below).

There is a broken link in the documentation that is supposed to explain how to link to Azure Blob Storage https://github.com/ms-iot/azure-client-tools/blob/master/docs/device-agent/schema/configuration-groups/uwpapplication-management.md "The access to the blob storage is performed as described here"...

Here is our twin segment:

"desired": {
      "uwpApps": {
        "connectionString": "<<Azure storage connection string>>",
        "apps": {
          "<<PackageName>>": {

          }
        }

I've had success using the twin's desired property, by defining the serviceInterfaceVersion in the meta object like this, for scheduling reboots:

{
  "properties": {
    "desired": {
      "rebootInfo": {
        "singleRebootTime": "2019-05-09T18:25:00Z",
        "__meta": {
          "serviceInterfaceVersion": "1.0.0"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Maybe it's the same for uwpApps?

Thanks, thj-dk, it was successful with this format:

"properties": {
    "desired": {
      "uwpApps": {
        "connectionString": "...",
        "apps": {
          "myapp": {
            "pkgFamilyName": "mypackagefamilyname",
            "version": "1.9.3.1",
            "appxSource": "downloads\\myapp.appx",
            "depsSources": "downloads\\Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime.2.1.appx;downloads\\lnl\\Microsoft.VCLibs.ARM.Debug.14.00.appx",
            "startup": "foreground",
            "launchAfterInstall": true
          }
        },
        "__meta": {
          "serviceInterfaceVersion": "1.0.0"
        }
      },

I've had success using the twin's desired property, by defining the serviceInterfaceVersion in the meta object like this, for scheduling reboots:

{
  "properties": {
    "desired": {
      "rebootInfo": {
        "singleRebootTime": "2019-05-09T18:25:00Z",
        "__meta": {
          "serviceInterfaceVersion": "1.0.0"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Maybe it's the same for uwpApps?

MickeyH71, this is a doc issue on our side. thj-dk is correct - and that's the right fix. We'll updating the docs in the next couple of days.

Fixed the docs with commit 906df93111bb2c27e93a04c5914f53b12a522d0e.
