I am developing a chatbot azure service, which I want to integrate within Microsoft Teams. So far everything is working but the "re-install" of the package in the Microsoft Teams.
I created a publish "folder-profile". Then I zip the result with the manifest.json and the icon files inside. I go to the Manage Team section and in the Apps tab I select upload a custom app. Then I choose the .zip file and the service seems to be there(Actually it is there)
It works, but when I create a new version and I repeat the described steps, it seems like Microsoft Teams is still using my old code.
I test the chatbot in the Chat by using #"APP-ID" and I see how my changes work, but installed as an App for the "Team" keeps the old version.
I tried to uninstall it, check if the bot is gone(it is gone) and then upload again, but some kind of cache is there and the bot behaves like in the previous version.
Any idea how is the correct way to deploy new versions of my app in Microsoft Teams?
I think you need to upgrade the version number in the manifest.json file (you can do it in the manifest.source.json before to generate your zip).

I have a traditional Win32 desktop app written in C++/MFC that I have packaged as a UWP app for the Microsoft store using the desktop-bridge facility in Visual Studio 2019. It is currently published on the store, and users have been downloading it successfully.
I now need to release an update. I have incremented the Version numbers in the Packaging tab of the Package.appxmanifest and have a package just-about ready to submit to the Store. I hope (expect?) that current users will get their existing copy of the app automatically updated if they have set that choice in the Store app itself, or if they manually check the Store for updates. However, I am not sure whether that is actually true. Do I need to do anything within my program itself to make that happen?
Thanks for any help.
Yes, desktop bridge apps published in the Store update automatically.
I would be most grateful if anyone could help me solve this problem with ClickOnce Web deployment.
I have read all the threads on this subject and I have also read through all the Microsoft documentation on the subject. They seem to say a lot without actually being direct or providing helpful examples. However, perhaps I am wrong and I have not looked in the right places.
I have already used ClickOnce successfully to deploy an application on the local area network.
It works well and really isn't that complicated. However, my goal is to deploy this application to customers, who are not connected to my local network.
I have set up a web site (www.mydomain.co.za), which I can access directly or via the ftp protocol.
I have created a sub directory off the root where I intend to publish the files created by the publish function. The publish function of the application requires a Publishing Folder Location and a Installation Folder URL I don't really understand the functional difference between these two locations. If I set the Publishing Location to ftp://www.mydomain.co.za/MyProductName and the Installation Folder URL to http://www.mydomain.co.za/MyProductName, then the publish process succeeds and when I check on the web server, the files have been published successfully it would seem. A further Application Files/MyProductName subdiectory with the version number information appended was created where all the output was placed.
My next step is to then grab the URL of the setup.exe file and to run it from a browser. This downloads the setup.exe file to my downloads folder which I then try to run but I get an error
Deployment and application do not have matching security zones.>
I have seen this come up in other threads but These threads don't seem to relate directly to what I am trying to do. These threads make mention of using Internet Explorer to achieve some degree of success, but all the browser did was to download the file.
I have also noted with interest that a web page is created in the root with a button that prompts the user to install the application. This does not work either.
Does anyone know of an article that I can read on this subject which is more helpful or if anyone can offer more insights into this I would be very grateful.
I have been trying the newly launched virtual assistant template (C#) of the bot framework, downloaded it from here https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-solutions/tree/master/templates/Virtual-Assistant-Template/csharp and deployed it using deployment scripts and the default setup works well.
As a next step, tried to add remote skill (few of the existing skills such as Calendar) using relevant script and it worked too.
Basic question we have is, would we need to download existing skill from here https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-solutions/tree/master/templates/Skill-Template/csharp and deploy it in our own Azure environment or can we just use already published skills such as thishttps://bftodoskill.azurewebsites.net/api/skill/manifest
If yes, that's perfect! however if not - will it make sense for the bot framework team to release skills as a service so that end users can simply consume already available and published skills in their virtual assistants?
Looks like they are in the process of working on the publish scripts for Skills:- https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-solutions/issues/1496.
However, you should be able to manually build the Skills by leveraging the source code located here (disclaimer: not tried myself): https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-solutions/tree/master/skills/src/csharp.
UPDATE: You can find the deployment scripts for a given Skill under the Deployment/Scripts folder in the root of the Skill's directory (e.g. /skills/src/csharp/calendarskill) in the repo. Instructions on how to run these scripts can be found at: https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-solutions/blob/master/docs/tutorials/assistantandskilldeploymentsteps.md.
Full problem text:
Package Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web 2.4.0 is not compatible with netcoreapp1.1 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1)
Package Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web 2.4.0 supports:
- net40 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.0)
- net45 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5)
So when I try to access Live Metrics Stream in Azure I get the message:
Not available: your app is offline or using an older SDK
and the following step-by-step guide to getting it:
Make a copy of ApplicationInsights.config if you customized ApplicationInsights.config.
In Solution Explorer, right-click your project and choose Manage NuGet packages.
Select Browse.
Search for Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web, select it and choose Install/Update. You need version 2.2.0 (or later).
Reinstate any customizations you made to ApplicationInsights.config. Most of the changes you'll see when you compare the files are because we removed some modules and made others parameterizable.
Rebuild your solution.
(I haven't customized no ApplicationInsights.config so started at 2, got the error after 4)
So I'm not entirely sure what the problem here is, on thing I guess from the problem text is that ApplicationInsights.Web works with .NETFramework and not with .NETCoreApp. In that case my question would be:
What's the ApplicationInsights.Web alternative for .NETCoreApp? Plus, why does Azure recommend this step-by-step guide to me? Can't they see that I'm running a .NETCoreApp?
In case it's relevant:
I have student access to Visual Studio and Azure through something called Microsoft Imagine.
The guide is for classic MVC, not MVC Core.
For ASP.NET Core, you should be able to add App Insights with the connected service in Visual Studio: https://ppolyzos.com/2017/03/07/add-application-insights-in-a-net-core-app-using-vs-2017-and-connected-services/
To add one of the supported connected services you can right-click on
your Project and select Add Connected Service. Select Application
Insights and, from the next dialog, click on the Start Free button to
start the registration of Application Insights in your app.
Then, connect your Microsoft Azure account, choose your subscription
and resource group and, at the bottom, select whether you want app
insights to continue collecting data beyond 1 GB/month or not, and
click on Register. A popup will appear displaying the progress of App
Insights registration process.
Also, the package that the connected service installs is: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore/
Feel free to recommend a better title or changes to my explanation below!
I am using Windows Azure Websites (for the first time) and have connected it to a solution in Visual Studio Online (also my first time). I was also able to connect to Visual Studio Online, create a project, throw up a master page and web form connected to a master page and my Azure website updated itself. Great!
My Issue
If I add another project to the solution it seems that this new project overwrites the files in the first one. I can't figure out how to set this up so:
Project 1 -> deploy to wwwroot (happens by default great!)
Project 2 -> deploy to wwwroot/sub/directory/ (doesn't seem to work)
Could somebody explain how to configure project 2 so that when the solution auto deploys to an Azure Website that it goes to a specific location?
Go to the Configure tab for the site in Azure portal.
Scroll all the way to the bottom then add a new application where ever you want like Project2 below.
Basically the 'Project2' part is the URL after the root '/' and the 'site\wwwroot\Project2' is where the actual folder should live under the site root
Download the publishing profile and import it in Visual Studio, then add the application name after your site name like below. Also remember to update the destination URL as well
hope that helps
