Teams app updates does not reflect quickly

[brijshah2709]

Describe the bug
When manifest is updated and app version is updated, we see that teamsApp/publishAppPackage command works successfully and see publish update button on teams admin center but then navigating to the app still shows older version for ~24 hours. This delays the validation process and affects the developer debugging experience.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run teamsApp/publishAppPackage to upload initial V1.0.0
2. Approve publish request in teams admin center
3. Update manifest and bump up version to V1.0.1
4. Run teamsApp/publishAppPackage again
5. Go to teams admin center and approve publish update
6. Go to teams app and see if version is still old/new

Expected behavior
App should be updated quickly in teams

Hi @brijshah2709 , when you publish an app in the Microsoft Teams admin center, it usually takes a few hours for the changes to reflect in the Teams app. This is the behavior of Teams and is outside the scope of the Teams Toolkit. For debugging, you can press F5 locally or click the "Preview in Teams" in Teams Developer Portal (link) to see the latest changes.

Hi @anchenyi

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, we are using toolkit for local development hence apps are not published on developer portal.

Is there a way to override caching and help show up app faster?

hi @brijshah2709
In Teams Toolkit, you can press F5 to start local debug, which will always use the latest changes. For the caching and update delay issue, you might need to reach out to Teams support.
