Issue with Workflow in a SharePoint-hosted App Application

Hi,
I have created a Sharepoint-hosted app which has a list workflow in it. After I deploy it to the sharepoint server, I can not find any workflow under the associated list.
However, I did have target list associated with workflow in workflow project property.
(My app and worflow is developed in VS 2012)
I have searched the forum and found some similar question. However, all of them don't have useful answers.....
Can anyone give me some help~?

Hi Baron123,
I can reproduce your scenario, that create an app with list, and add a workflow associates with it, the workflow is not working, that seems doesn’t associates successfully.
Before I can tell why this happens, I found a helpful blog about keeping the list definitions and workflow definitions separate, use Handle APP installed event receiver to wire up a workflow to lists in app web or host web.
As it is not a good solution to deploy the list and workflow in the same app solution, because that if you redeploy the app the date will be lost, the list will be new created, so I would suggest you to reference the blog, check whether this can meet your
requirement.

Issue with REST POST call: CopyTo in a SharePoint hosted App not working

Hi Community
I have been really struggling to get a cross domain copy to work both in an App or even using REST Tools such as Postman or Google Advanced REST Client.
Ok there are various blog posts by Scott G et al. that shows how you can post say in a single domain. Now that's fairly straight forward
in my case I took a .apsx page and added the following lines of code - Checkin - refresh and great the file gets copied via the document ready function
(document).ready(function () {
alert('ready!');
var src = "/appsdev/Shared Documents/SrcDoc.docx";
var dst = "/appsdev/Shared Documents/DestDocCopiedByRestTestASPXPage.docx";
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": jQuery("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('" + src + "')/copyto(strnewurl='" + dst + "',boverwrite=true)",
success: function (data, errorCode, errorMessage) {
alert('Success: copied the damn file');
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
var jsonObjectText = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);
error: errorHandler
Now I make the call in my SharePoint hosted App and I simple can' t get this to work. Fiddler doesn't exactly help a lot
var src = "/appsdev/Shared Documents/SrcDoc.docx";
var dst = "/appsdev/Shared Documents/DestDocCopiedByMyApp.docx";
var urlWriteLocalFileDebug = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/Getfilebyserverrelativeurl('" + src + "')/copyTo(strNewUrl='" + dst + "', bOverWrite=true)?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
executor.executeAsync(
method: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": jQuery("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
url: urlWriteLocalFileDebug,
success: function (data, errorCode, errorMessage) {
alert('Success: copied the damn file');
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
var jsonObjectText = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);
error: errorHandler
I can happily run a GET and see the properties of my file but POST no way. Curriously, when I try to run the same command for say Google Advanced Rest Client I get nowhere
Is this a new mensa test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
I have now tested against a trail Office 365 Developer site and I had to make a few adjustments
- change the url
- change the target to SharePoint Onlne
- change the url
I still wasn't happy so I created a new SharePoint Hosted app and pointed at the above developer site. I copied my CrossDomainExec.js and stripped all my code except my CopyItemInSameLIbrary method which hasn't changed since I created this post.
- changed the App Manifest permissions to Web -full Control ( was previously tenant)
I still got errors which is really painful as you don't even see the POST request in Fiddler
The URL used for my POST is as follows ( note host URL is fictitious)
"https://myapphell-547d8061d39e38.sharepoint.com/sites/appsdev/RESTTestSHA/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/Getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/sites/appsdev/Shared Documents/SrcDoc.docx')/copyTo(strNewUrl='/sites/appsdev/Shared Documents/DestDoc.docx', bOverWrite=true)?@target='https://myapphell.sharepoint.com/sites/appsdev'" String
Ran the app a second time and now I see......Wow it WORKS!!!!!! ..Can't be true can it?
.... next I will switch the target url to my on prem farm to see if this still works so watch this space!

Getting error while uploading multiple files in sharepoint hosted app in 2013 with REST API

Hi All,
In one of my tasks, I was struck with one issue, that is "While uploading multiple files into custom list with REST API".
Iam trying to upload multiple files in library with REST calls for an APP development, my issue is if i wants to upload 4 image at once its storing only
3 image file and further giving "Conflict" error". Below is the attached screenshot of exact error.
Error within screenshot are : status Code : 409
status Text :conflict
For this operation i am uploading different files as an attachment to an list item, below is the code used for uploading multiple files.
my code is
function PerformUpload(listName, fileName, listItem, fileData)
var urlOfAttachment="";
// var itemId = listItem.get_id();
urlOfAttachment = appWebUrl + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + listItem + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='" + fileName + "')"
// use the request executor (cross domain library) to perform the upload
var reqExecutor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appWebUrl);
reqExecutor.executeAsync({
url: urlOfAttachment,
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": digest
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: fileData,
success: function (x, y, z) {

SharePoint hosted app issue - This page cannot be displayed

Hi All, need help on below issue,
When I deploy SharePoint hosted app from Visual Studio 2012, it generated app web URL and that opens the app properly. But, if I upload .app file after
publish in Visual Studio 2012 to App Catalog and added new app based on my SharePoint hosted app. When try to click on app, saying ‘This page can’t be displayed’ in internet explorer. I don’t think so it will be issue with app domain as the app working fine
if deploy from visual studio. Thanks in advance for your help.

It may still be an issue with the app domain, actually with DNS. When you deploy from VS 2012 it automatically adds the appropriate DNS entries to the Hosts file on your VS 2012 PC. That way the App domain can be resolved and you can reach the
site. When you deploy by uploading to the App Catalog that entry in the HOsts file is not created. Instead you should ahve already added the App domain and a wildcard entry to the DNS server used in your network. If that wasn't done then
you will get exactly the behavior you describe.
Take a look at the section on DNS in the following article. Make sure you've followed all the instructions.

How to get inputted value in a RTE field on custom page and submit by REST call in 'Sharepoint hosted app'.

Hi I am facing the three questions below.
1. How to use default RTE in custom page in Sharepoint hosted app.
I saw the article of Rich text Editor (ribbon based) in a webpart in SharePoint 2013 and tried it. But it did not work well. I guess it needs code-behind setting, however sharepoint hosted app does not support code-behind.
Does anybody know how to do this?
2. In above case, I placed the below code on custom page and tried to get the field's value when submit button was clicked.
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="rftDefaultValue"
RichText="true"
RichTextMode="FullHtml" runat="server"
TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="5">
</SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>
In debugger, the returned value was 'undefined'.
var note = $('#hogehoge').val();
Is it possible to get the RTE value? If yes, please let me know how to do this.
3. I need to submit the RTE value using REST call.
In this
article in MSDN, the item creation sample treats single line text field. Does anybody know the sample for RTE?

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to use Rich Text Editor control in your SharePoint hosted app.
First of all, I would suggest you post one question in one thread to make it easier to be discussed, which would also help you get a quick solution.
Though we can add this control into a SharePoint hosted app, however, as we can’t add code behind for it, plus with the potential compatibility issues in different
browsers, I would suggest you use other JavaScript Rich Text Editor plugins instead.
Two JavaScript Rich Text Editor plugins for your reference:
http://quilljs.com/
http://nicedit.com/
If you want to submit the value of Rich Text Editor control to a SharePoint list using REST call, since the content in the Multiple Line of Text column is wrapped
with nested HTML tags, the similar requirement would also be applied to the content to be submitted.
Here is a code snippet about how to update a Multiple Line of Text column for your reference:
updateListItem(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl, "List018", 1);
function updateListItem(siteUrl, listName, itemId)
var itemType = GetItemTypeForListName(listName);
var item = {
"__metadata": { "type": itemType },
"MultiTextEnhanced": "<div><a href='http://bing.com/'>Bing</a><br></p></div>",
"Title": "123"
$.ajax({
url: siteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + itemId + ")",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
$.ajax({
url: data.d.__metadata.uri,
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
data: JSON.stringify(item),
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
"X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE",
"If-Match": data.d.__metadata.etag
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
error: function (data) {
console.log(data);
error: function (data) {
console.log(data);
// Getting the item type for the list
function GetItemTypeForListName(name)
return"SP.Data." + name.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + name.slice(1) + "ListItem";

Unable to add aspx file to document library using REST and JSOM in SharePoint Hosted App

Hi,
I am unable to add an aspx file to document library. I was actually trying to create a WIKI page and upload to Pages library but that wasn't working so I tried simple document library. It keeps failing with Access Denied error. I have checked
the blocked types and aspx is not included. I can upload it directly from the browser so that shouldn't be the case. I have read that it can be achieved with CSOM but I need this to work with a SharePoint Hosted App. Here is my JSOM:
factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appweburl);
context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
oWeb = appContextSite.get_web();
oList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
fileCreateInfo = new SP.FileCreationInformation();
fileCreateInfo.set_url("mywiki.aspx");
fileCreateInfo.set_content(new SP.Base64EncodedByteArray());
fileContent = "<%@ Page Inherits=\"Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.TemplateRedirectionPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c\" %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~TemplatePageUrl\"
%> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~masterurl/custom.master\" %>";
for (var i = 0; i < fileContent.length; i++) {
fileCreateInfo.get_content().append(fileContent.charCodeAt(i));
newFile = oList.get_rootFolder().get_files().add(fileCreateInfo);
context.load(newFile);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
alert('yo');
}, function (sender, args) {
alert(args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
If I change the file extension to "txt", it works. Same with REST implementation, it works with "txt" but fails with "aspx". Maybe what I am trying to do will not work using JSOM or REST. Any suggestions? Your
help is always appreciated.
Regards,
kashif

Your code works fine in both my on-premises and SharePoint Online. I have given the app full control, so I suspect this is a permissions issue. I would check your permissions on your appmanifest. Must be something to do with publishing permissions. Try
giving full control and work the permissions down.

So in the app you are testing, are you using the FQDN or the NetBIOS name? Bad practice but could you test with both (hard code the absolute URL for testing purposes) then retest your app?
If you are making a web part based on the new app model this will be an "app part" and probably have the same issues you are experiencing. If this is for something internal rather than a product you are developing to resell then the script editor /
content editor web part approach could work for you.

Deployed lists in a SharePoint hosted app use the wrong content type.

I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 to deploy a SharePoint hosted app to my SharePoint 2013 development environment.
I have created 2 lists, one of which is using a custom content type with custom columns and the other is just a simple custom list definition and instance, all of which are deployed inside the same feature.
However when I go to the simple list, it is using the content type from the other list, even though in the schema.xml shows that it is not supposed to use this content type. I have checked the content type ID and it is not referencing my custom content type,
but for some reason the list is using that content type.
I remember seeing this same issue a few months ago while creating a SP2010 sandbox solution. It could well be something I'm doing wrong when creating the lists/content type.
Steps to recreate this issue:
Create a SharePoint hosted app in VS
Create some custom fields
Create a custom content type
Create a list based on that content type
Create another list not based on the content type
Delete feature that VS creates for the second list and add the list def and instance to the main feature (containing the other list and content type)
Deploy and go to second list, note that it has the custom fields from the first list.
Any advice on what to do about this would be great. I have tried deleting the list and recreating it in VS several times but that didn't work.
Thanks

Digital signature in SharePoint hosted app

I am creating a sharepoint hosted app where user must use digital signature(loginname, password) before submitting request.
I am unable to find any machenism to validate user credentials using jquery/javascript.

Hi,
Check the blog below:
Use tasks to maintain your workflow state. Each approval adds a task for the signer. There is a workflow action to handle this for you. When the task is done, it moves to the next step.
Use the Wait action to have your workflow pause until a change is made. You would have a column for each signer. When the column is filled in, the workflow continues with the email for the next signer.
Have a workflow that runs for each signing step. The workflow will be kicked off on item change. You will need a column for each signer again. The workflow will examine each column in order to determine what stage it is on and then email the appropriate person.

Hope this helps

How to open List when Page loads in SharePoint Hosted App?

I want to create an app same like InstantPracticeManager by InstantQuick.
Now I want to know that in a SharePoint Hosted App How can I show the Whole List in a page.
Here I have added one image:
Here there is one list and there are 4 views of that list.
Now the App will be like when I load the page It will show like the image above. Now how can we show the list like this in sharepoint hosted app?
I want the same scenario which is shown in the following blogs:
http://sp2013.blogspot.in/2012/08/use-list-view-in-sharepoint-2013-apps.html
and
http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2013/08/working-with-web-parts-within.html
where they add a list to an app
Can any one suggest me the idea? I am bit confused.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to show the different list view in a page in SharePoint Hosted App.
We can use jQuery and cross-domain library to achieve it.

OnPremise: Sharepoint Hosted App gives 401 unauthorized error while accessing UserProfile Rest Service

Hi All,
I have SharePoint hosted app deployed on On-Premise using(F5) which reads User Profile data consumes WCF(Hosted on same server) through REST API to insert data in to SQL DB(Different server).
SharePoint hosted app was working as expected and suddenly it started asking for credential and not login(any user) to the application landing page.
Checked SharePoint Logs, IIS Logs and Windows log but did not get any clue.
WCF is accessible, User Profile access is also happening but not sure what changes done on server or infra level which causing this issue.
I have an On-Premise Environment for SharePoint 2013. where we have created SharePoint hosted app which calls "http:///_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties" to get current user's data. but this gives me 401 unauthorized error.
Notes:
I had given read permission to user profile and full control to sitecollection in appmanifest. If I run this app on Office 365 developer site it works fine, but on premise environment it give 401 error.
On premise environment when I deploy this app 3 times it prompt for credential and finally gives the following error
Error message after login 3 times:
{"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access
denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."}}}

SharePoint hosted app part and SPHostUrl + SPAppWebUrl

Hi,
I have sharepoint hosted app that gets hostweburl and appweburl with the next lines
function getUrl() {
hostweburl = getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl");
appweburl = getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl");
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(hostweburl);
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(appweburl);
var scriptbase = hostweburl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js",
function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js",
function () { $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", execOperation); }
function execOperation() {
context = new SP.ClientContext(appweburl);
appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
And this works fine. But when I'm creating app part those hostweburl and appweburl fields are undefined. So I cant get the context and everything is broken. Is this done in some other way in app parts?

Like this in the ClientWebPart
<Content
      Type="html"
      Src="~appWebUrl/Pages/Welcome.aspx?{StandardTokens}&ShowImage=_ShowImage_" />
The {StandardTokens} contains all the queryString parameters you need.

Web event receiver when adding or deleting a SharePoint hosted app

Hi,
Is it possible to start an action when a SharePoint hosted app is added or deleted from a site collection on our SharePoint 2013 farm on premise?
Also for public apps. Therefore, working with ‘App events’ are not an option.
It tried already with a web event receiver: ‘OnSiteCreated’ and ‘WebDeleting’, but this is not working with appweb's.
When I create a normal subsite, the event is fired. When I added an app to the site, the event is not fired.
Regards,
Johan
