Snap Version snapcraft.yaml vs package-manifest.json

Hello,

is there any realtion or despendency between the version number given by the snapcraft.yaml and the version number given by the package-manifest.json? Which one is used for what inside the ctrlX CORE?

E.g. the snapcraft.yaml version number is used by the snap deamon for exmaple seeing that an new version and so for an update is possible? And the Version of the package-manifest.json is used by the device admin snap for showing inside the app overview?

Best regards

Maurus

Hi Maurus,

regarding the version number there is no dependency and no relation between those two files.ย 

The version of the package-manifest.json is used to retain backwards compatibility in case of format changes. Currently there is only version 1.0.0
