Error when publishing Model Driven app

Hello, I came here because I have no idea what is the issue, since I added a table and removed it, I have this error when I try to make a publication (I'm on the classic experience because I have no message in the new one).

I tried solutions I found on internet, like log out or clear the cache, it's not working.

Seems to be linked with the navigation the message is triggered when i open this:

I can't save or publish my modification, the app is stuck and I don't know how to patch it, I checked the app references bu I see nothing unusual

Thank you very much for you help.

Best regards,

Djilali.

Error when publishing Model Driven app

Hi @djidji,
This usually happens when the references are still present in the xml. I can recommend you 2 path

Path 1: Fixing the app designer.

Open your Model-driven app

Open the Navigation (Sitemap) panel on the left.

Carefully inspect each area, group, and subarea. Look for blank, empty, or “Unknown” items (these are orphaned references to deleted tables or views).

Delete those items.

Click Save → Publish.

Path 2: Manually Clear the XML

Export the App along with Sitemap in an unmanaged solution

Locate the file customizations.xml in the downloaded zip file

Search for your app by its name or unique name (e.g., <AppModule ...> tag)

Inside the <SiteMap> element, look for <SubArea> nodes pointing to tables that no longer exist (you’ll see GUIDs or names that don’t match current tables).

Delete those <SubArea> entries.

Save the XML, zip the folder back, and reimport it as an unmanaged solution.

If any of the solution works do mark this as answered.

Error when publishing Model Driven app

I restaured the environment in a new environment with an older version of the solution and I tried to update the solution in my dev with the older version but it does not patch the issue,

Sorry I edit my message I havent found any wrong reference in the xlm, nothing concerning in the site map

Error when publishing Model Driven app

I removed everything with the classic experience yesterday still got the error, the new site map once everything removed:

<SiteMap IntroducedVersion="7.0.0.0"><Area Id="NewArea_5bb36601" ResourceId="SitemapDesigner.NewArea" ShowGroups="false"><Group Id="NewGroup_7e327f4d" ResourceId="SitemapDesigner.NewGroup" IsProfile="false" ToolTipResourseId="SitemapDesigner.Unknown"><SubArea Id="NewSubArea_fea76db38" ResourceId="SitemapDesigner.NewSubArea" Url="https://" Client="All,Outlook,OutlookLaptopClient,OutlookWorkstationClient,Web" AvailableOffline="true" PassParams="false" Sku="All,OnPremise,Live,SPLA" /></Group></Area></SiteMap>

I was about to say it's still not working as I tried a lot of time yesterday but this morning it magically came back to normal I was able to save, so I don't know what was the error, maybe in the side of the server as I had some weird behaviour when it was loading and it was not about the pc as I tried on two different one.

I have imported an older version of the solution and I was able to find again practically all the elements I removed from the app.

Hopefully it will never happen again, everything seems to have came back to normal,

Have a good day,

Best regards.
