Application addon cannot be override when freezing a staging bundle

Hi, I was updating all the addons on the server in between project so that we have the latest version for the next coming project.

While I am testing if everything working correctly in staging bundles, I encounter a weird issue where the launcher will not launch any DCCs, even just the Terminal.

After some troubleshooting, I found out that it is due to the Application addon wasn’t override in the frozen staging project bundle, I was jumping from 1.3.4 to 1.4.2, which breaks the compatible version of the DCCs addon and the Core addons.

My question is, Is locking the application addon to be not able to override when we freeze a staging bundle? Or if I am using the freeze function wrongly?

Some addons can’t be frozen per-project because they operate largely on the studio level. The applications addon is one of them.

if that is the case, what is the right way to do a staging bundle if there is huge version gap between updates.
