Hi,
I have a Jira Cloud (atlassian-connect) app listed on the marketplace, and I’d like to integrate it with other apps to maximize its functionality for users. Currently, users need to manually install these additional apps from the marketplace, which isn’t ideal. I’m looking for a solution to automate this process.
I came across some older resources that mention a dependencies property in descriptor.json, which allows other apps to be installed automatically when a user installs mine. However, when I tried to implement it, I got an exception “Installation failed. The app includes the disallowed “dependencies” property.”. I’m aware that some apps seem to use this feature.
My questions are:
- Do you know the current status of this property? Does Atlassian plan to release it, or has it been deprecated?
- If it’s deprecated, do you have any alternative solutions for automating the process, so users can install one app from the marketplace and automatically get several others (e.g., 3-5 apps) installed as well?
