App Install via SoftwareCenter not possible

noticed the Description of Apps under the testing branch, seem not possible t view or review

Could you clarify what you mean? I’m not sure I understand your point.

@davidep

add a qualifier like Alpha, Beta, Testing, Unstable to the application “name” and “description” metadata attributes.

I was referring to the “repodata-schema.json” and “UI metadata.json” files, as explained in the Create a Repository documentation.

HEllo, it seems you ave reverted the visibility behaviro of all App on the software center, to always visisble whether testing or prodcution level.

While fixing this bug #7211, we introduced a new behavior that unfortunately conflicts with your use case. I wasn’t aware that some apps in custom repositories have unstable versions only—this seems to be a more common scenario than initially thought. As a result, we now have a regression, which will be addressed in #7228.

In the meantime, here’s a workaround for such cases:

1. Release the app using a stable tag, like 0.1.2.
2. Add a qualifier like “Alpha” to the application name, for example, “Rally (Alpha)”.

Alternatively, you can temporarily remove the app from the repository metadata until the fix is released.
