We have an scenario with the “Get-NavAppRuntimePackage” cmdlet.

Scenario: I import a runtime app and export it using the cmdlet.

Expectation: I can do the process as many times as I want.

Issue: An imported runtime app again exported is broken. The metadata is fine, but all C# files and add-ins are missing, resulting in a smaller file size.

Steps for reproduction in PowerShell:

# Build and publish "AL: Go!"

# Test: Customer List shows "Hello world" message -> OK

Get-NavAppRuntimePackage -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Name ALProject1 -Path C:\ProgramData\bccontainerhelper\ALProject1.app

Uninstall-NAVApp -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Name ALProject1

Unpublish-NAVApp -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Name ALProject1

Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Path C:\ProgramData\bccontainerhelper\ALProject1.app -Scope Tenant -SkipVerification

Install-NAVApp -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Name ALProject1

# Test: Customer List shows "Hello world" message -> OK

Get-NavAppRuntimePackage -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Name ALProject1 -Path C:\ProgramData\bccontainerhelper\ALProject1_2.app

Uninstall-NAVApp -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Name ALProject1

Unpublish-NAVApp -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Name ALProject1

Publish-NAVApp -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Path C:\ProgramData\bccontainerhelper\ALProject1_2.app -Scope Tenant -SkipVerification

Install-NAVApp -ServerInstance bc -Tenant pko -Name ALProject1

# Test: Customer List shows "Hello world" message -> NOT OK !!!

We would like to have a command to simply give the package that is publish to the server continuously as many times as needed, as we don't have that at the moment.
