I've successfully deployed my first SharePoint Framework extension to my SharePoint Online app catalog + site collection. My question is about deployment efficiency. Currently to deploy, I have to do a 

gulp bundle
gulp package-solution

...then upload the sppkg to the appcatalog along with the assets (js,scss) to a pre-configured CDN library. Then I have to install the actual app on the site collection.

What is the quickest way to deploy a new change if I modify the typescript file and the .scss file? Can I avoid fully retracting the app and re-adding it? That takes the longest because it makes you delete the previous version from the Recycle Bin.

  • I have never retracted the app before update. If you have time you could setup some automation too, one example: delucagiuliano.com/…

This is what I've been doing:

  • Increment the version number in the package-solution.json file
  • Upload the new .sppkg and CDN files
  • Go to "Add an App" and click "find out why" link on your app and then get the latest version of the file

It should not be necessary to retract the installed version first. Just upload a new .sppkg file to the app catalog and update your CDN.

  • You would think, but changes to my Application Customizer are not reflected until I fully retract, remove from 2 recycle bins, then re-install.
