Sharepoint 2013 hosted app with Workflow

Hi all,

we are trying to create SharePoint hosted app with some custom columns, Content types, Lists and Workflows on On-Premise developer farm (configured by Microsoft people, but I am experiencing same issue on my azure SP farm). During development in visual studio everything is working fine. After uploading some early version of app to App-Catalog in same web application where development site is - app cannot be added to sites



Fiddler

We found the way how to make it work by removing this tags from AppManifest.xml after the app package is created by Visual studio. Then app is created and fully functional – WF are started and task, email are assigned.

  <AppPrerequisites>

    <AppPrerequisite Type="Capability" ID="CDD8F991-B459-4512-8048-03D5A03FF27E" />

  </AppPrerequisites>

But now when we were testing update process of APP where there is some change in workflow (even just in description) we get error during update process.

ULS – LOG - ERROR
