Hi,

Let say we have published version 1 of our app.
then
We publish version 2 of the app, lets assume version 2 is causing errors and crashes.

Can Store App user revert back to previous version of the application?

If answer is "NO" then what is the workaround? how do others manages this scenario? any Ideas?

    Re-publish version 1, users may need to uninstall version 2 but you could also deploy a script that checks for version 2 to uninstall first then have it install version 1.

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Can Store App user revert back to previous version of the application?

    There is no such feature for Microsoft Store now. A workaround is that you could change the version number of version 1 to version 3 and publish the version 3. Users will auto update the app since version 3 is higher than version 2.

    Thank you.
