Business value
Resellers who develop per-tenant extensions for customers and publishers who create AppSource apps often build on the work of other publishers. This approach creates dependencies on those publishers. To develop or test these extensions, resellers and publishers need access to the AppSource apps they depend on.
Currently, you use a manual process to get access to these apps. If you have dependencies, you must contact the publishers who own the applications. You need to ask for symbols to develop against or runtime packages to test with. You need to repeat this process continuously as new versions of the Business Central first-party applications and the publishers' applications become available. This process takes a lot of time and can lead to errors.
In this version, you can develop and compile extensions against external applications. You can also test extensions in online sandboxes.
Feature details
In this release, we add support for resellers and publishers to download symbols for AppSource applications to develop against by providing a public NuGet feed with packages that contain symbols for AppSource applications. If you use AL-Go for GitHub, it automatically locates and downloads these symbols during the build. You can also use AL-Go for GitHub to run tests in online sandboxes.
