Installed DHIS2 app not visible in Apps menu

I created a new DHIS2 app using the DHIS2 CLI for testing purposes and named it demo. Inside the app, I just added a simple placeholder: "Just for demo".

I built the app, zipped it, and uploaded it via App Management. It shows as App installed, but the app does not appear in the Apps menu.

Questions:

  • What could cause an installed app to not show up in the Apps menu?
  • Are there specific checks or requirements (e.g., manifest, app name, dependencies) that must be done before uploading?
2

does your app appear in /api/apps ?
is there permissions in the manifest that your user might not have ?

But it’s not visible inside the dhi2 apps. I have given permission to ALL inside the manifest.webapps, but i cant see the app named demo inside dhis2 apps still.

Make sure to force the reload of dhis2 main page.

I would try to compare your manifest.json and manifest.webapp with an existing app
ex :

I’m wondering it’s not the namespace the issue. I think there’s a special permission created in that case.

Hi @amrit_paudel

I shared this with the extensibility team and they’re happy to help but could you share more info such as the versions and method you’re using. Specifically, they asked if you could you please provide a copy of the zip file you are using? (cc: @mozafar )

Thanks!
