Please allow applications to be published without having to open the application in edit mode.
We recently ran into a problem which took us several weeks to resolve where we imported a managed solution into a powerapps environment. During the import the active managed layer created was not set as the published live layer, and so we had to go into the edit mode of the app to get to the button to publish the application. However by entering the edit mode we are creating a new unmanaged layer, entirely defeating the point of using a managed solution in the first place.
