App Permissions

[upbeat jackal]

Could we please add APPS_INSTALLER.INSTALL_SITE_LEVEL to the permissions list so i am able to use { appsInstaller }

https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/app-installation/install-app?apiView=SDK

Thought i would share here as this is not a API that is talked about much but also the backend requires a permissions that is not listed.

Thanks

Can't use createAppPermission() either 🙁

Are you trying to install an app with another app?

This is mainly for API key use outside of app context

[upbeat jackal]

Yeah, have tried https://www.wix.com/app-installer?appid={appId} but seems like that has stopped working

Reason being is my app dependency's may change

[upbeat jackal]

Ahh right.

If you wish to allow users of X app to install Y app from the X app context, only redirect to share link/link to app listing of the app if it is a published one

[upbeat jackal]

It's for wix apps. So my app may have stores as a dependency depending on if the user selected X. If the user selected X then the user will be prompted to install XYZ ( a wix app )

This is why i found { appInstaller } but seems like it requires APPS_INSTALLER.INSTALL_SITE_LEVEL but is not in the permissions list. There is another permission called APPS_INSTALLER.INSTALL_ACCOUNT_LEVEL which then does require a API key but i believe APPS_INSTALLER.INSTALL_SITE_LEVEL works with fetchWithAuth()

Dependency on Wix apps is handled by us. So if you mark your app as dependant on Wix Stores, and site does not have Wix Stores, he will be prompted to install Wix Stores (For Blocks apps the install is even done silently)

Oh I see now
Generally the app will have no dependencies - but based on decisions made by the site owner after installing your app, you want to allow the installation of Wix apps

[upbeat jackal]

Yes so if the user selects X and let’s say stores is not already installed then the user is prompted to install stores and when the button is clicked then stores installs.

If I made all Wix apps dependent then it would be a complete mess as you could imagine hence why I am going down the route of if the user selects X then they are prompted to install Y

But yeah I think you understand now 🙂

When I try to use this API I just get a permission declined error then after looking at the permissions I found there was two - site level and account level. Please do correct me if I’m wrong but anything that is site level would work with fetchWithAuth() and anything that is account level requires a API key

[glacial mulch]

Site level and account level are API keys terms. This endpoint is not meant to used by apps.
However, we are working on endpoint to initate app installations. This is already passed the design phase and we will release it this month/next month

[upbeat jackal]

Brilliant! Maybe a note in the docs for that API then to say it’s for only headless 🙂

[glacial mulch]

We will make sure to have it cleared
