This happened last time I migrated two years ago to v 1.16. Now I can't seem to get my apps to show on the localhost:3001 page for the most recent upgrade. Following the migrate instructions, it should be simple.

I downloaded the new version. There was no apps folder under server/public so I created one. Then I copied over an apps folder from the old version (v 1.16). I opened the local page and I actually seen my app for a split second flash on the screen, but after that no app. I created a new Client ID in AGOL. No difference.Capture.PNG

The info.json is still showing version 1.16.0.

With help of Support this was resolved. Workflow:

    • First we created a new test app in v1.20. This generated a new app folder in the exp builder dev edition in the server folder.
    • In the test app's path expBuilderv1.20/server/public/apps/<testApp>, we opened the info.json file.
    • Comparing it with the portalURL property of the info.json file of the apps in v1.16, we found that the portalUrl was the same but with different casing "https://willcountygis.maps.arcgis.com".
    • This difference caused the apps to not be recognized in the v1.20 exp builder.
    • Then we simply copied all the apps to upgrade from v1.16/server/public/apps to the server/public/apps folder of v1.20 as suggested by the documentation:
    • We also made sure the id property matched the number on the app folder.
