Snowflake Native App Framework: Need to recreate or update some APPLICATION objects¶

As part of the rollout of the Support for reference and privilege validation in the manifest file feature, an APPLICATION object created in development mode that was based on staged files will no longer function correctly if the APPLICATION object contains a versioned schema.

To resolve this issue, Snowflake recommends doing one of the following:

• If you do not need to preserve the existing APPLICATION object, you can delete the app and recreate it using the CREATE APPLICATION command.

  Following this process recreates the app and enables the new functionality added in the Support for reference and privilege validation in the manifest file feature.

• If you need to preserve an existing APPLICATION object, use the ALTER APPLICATION command and specify the staged files using UPGRADE USING <path_to_stage>.

  Following this process will return the app to a functioning state, but it will not include the new functionality added in the Support for reference and privilege validation in the manifest file feature.
