Unmanaged Package Installation Failure: Why Did the Package Fail to Install in Production?
Exploring Unmanaged Package Installation Failure
When an app builder installs an unmanaged package in a full copy sandbox that is an exact match for production, they may encounter issues when attempting to install the package in the production environment. The failed installation of the unmanaged package in production can be attributed to several factors:
Changes made in the sandbox environment might not align with the metadata or dependencies in the production environment. Unmanaged packages are customizable, which means developers can modify them with custom code or configurations that may not be supported or present in production.
2. Failed Deployment Requirements:The unmanaged package may contain Apex code or other components that have not met the deployment requirements or security reviews necessary for production environments. This can lead to installation failure when moving the package from sandbox to production.
3. Permission Issues:Differences in user permissions and profiles between the sandbox and production environments can cause issues during installation. If the unmanaged package relies on specific permissions that are not set in the production environment, the installation may fail.
It is essential to review the specific error message from the failed installation and ensure that all configurations and permissions are properly set in the production environment before retrying the installation process.
