AYON addons and launcher and server compatibility

Ported from Discord, Question by cameron smither

If I were to keep the ayon server updated to the latest, but not update the launcher for a long while, would any issues arise?
And, Are there any docs or compatibility lists?

Answered by @iLLiCiT ,

server should be fine, but newer addons may require newer ayon launcher…

it should tell you during bundle creation.


Further info,
On bundle creation and dev bundles, we have a compatibility checker.
It will be found on the right.
As far as I know, it works based on the info specified in the package.py
which defined in each addon. e.g. applications/package.py


It’s also worth mentioning that these checkers doesn’t check the content of dependency package.
