HTML5 app not showing in BTP Cockpit After deployed

[YOJAN]

Hello Community,

I know there are some similar questions but I can not figure it out the problem.
This is the log I got once application is deployed to html5, but I can not make it appear in html5 application list.

#2025 11 03 22:36:55.840#Z#DEBUG#8277ce9a-b905-11f0-8071-eeee0a92e238.CSR-app-content_CSR-repo-host#flowable-async-job-executor-thread-5683#

[PollDeployContentStatusExecution] [CSR-app-content] [INFO] Application content was successfully uploaded from subaccount { CODE: '1002' }#

This is my mta.yaml, I have both unmanaged router and managed router applications. This module CSR-app-content is doing the deployment, log does not show error when deploying but app does not show in list - tried refresh as well.  unmanaged app deploys and works with no problem. I am doing managed to use launchpad functionality.

Please your suggestion.

Hi,

I had a look at your setup and wanted to clarify a few points around the approuter configuration.

You’re currently configuring a standalone (unmanaged) approuter, whereas the managed approuter is usually the recommended option, unless there’s a specific technical need (for example, when you require custom authentication, routing logic, or integration with non-SAP services).

To help you compare both approaches, please review the following resources:

Managed Approuter Example (GitHub):
SAP Fiori Tools Sample – Managed Approuter

SAP Blog: Differences Explained
Managed vs. Standalone Approuter (SAP Tech Bytes)

In your case, since your YAML file is set up for a standalone approuter, your HTML5 app is accessed through the dev space where the approuter was deployed — the approuter essentially sits in front of your HTML5 content and handles the routing.

If your goal is a simpler, managed deployment, I’d suggest using the managed approuter approach instead. It’s easier to maintain, integrates seamlessly with SAP BTP services, and handles authentication and routing automatically.

I hope this clarifies things a bit.

Hello Yojan,

Have you maintained App title, description, icon, info etc. in the code? If not, can you try that. We faced a similar issue in the past and that fixed it for us.

Thanks both
this isbncertificateui uses unmanaged router
this is isbncertificatehtml5isbncertificatehtml5 for managed router, however yes, I do not see any managed router configuration in yaml file, it looks like it is missing.
