Custom repository: maintaining different app versions for different boxee versions

[verbal1714]

For custom repository app, I was trying to maintaining different app versions for different boxee versions (e.g. 0.9.23 vs 1.5.0) so that users on older version of boxee get one version of the app while users on newer versions of boxee would get another version when they add the repository.

I tried the below using the maxversion/minversion tags, but I keep getting the latest version (3.1 in this example) on both versions of Boxee. Is there something I am missing? I guess I could just name the apps differently but I wanted the installation process to take care of the version stuff


The repository index.xml is as below

<apps>
   <app>
      <id>com.company.appname</id>
      <name>appname</name>
      <version>1.3</version>
       ....
      <platform>all</platform>
      <minversion>0.9.5</minversion>
      <maxversion>1.4.9</maxversion>
   </app>
   <app>
      <id>com.company.appname</id>
      <name>appname</name>
      <version>3.1</version>
       ....
      <platform>all</platform>
      <minversion>1.5.0</minversion>
   </app>
</apps>

And the descriptor.xml files for each of the apps are as below

<app>
  <id>com.company.appname</id>
  <name>appname</name>
  <version>1.3</version>
   ...
  <platform>all</platform>
  <minversion>0.9.5</minversion>
  <maxversion>1.4.9</maxversion>
</app>

<app>
  <id>com.company.appname</id>
  <name>appname</name>
  <version>3.1</version>
   ....
  <platform>all</platform>
  <minversion>1.5.0</minversion>
</app>

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I solved this with two different apps with different ids:

Thanks! I copied your index.xml and got it to work correctly (ie it only shows the older version of the app on older boxee installations, and both apps on the newer installations).

For anyone else who may run into this, here are the contents:

<apps>
   <app>
      <id>com.company.appnamenew</id>
      <name>appname</name>
      <version>1.3</version>
      <description>My app (for Boxee versions 1.5.x onwards)</description>
       ....
      <platform>dlink.dsm380</platform>
      <minversion>1.0.0</minversion>
   </app>
   <app>
      <id>com.company.appname</id>
      <name>appname</name>
      <description>My app (for Boxee versions prior to 1.5.x)</description>
      <version>3.1</version>
       ....
      <platform>win,mac,atv,linux</platform>
      <minversion>0.9.20</minversion>
   </app>
</apps>
