Issue with AEM Extension Manager

[Mahesh_Gunaje]

Hello Team,

My team has created Adobe IO run time project
I have created Content Fragment extension project. Deployed the project to Development workspace.
Able to test the feature using this url. Able to test my content fragment.
https://experience.adobe.com/?devMode=true&ext=https://123456-pocProject-development.adobeio-static....

Deployed the same code to Production workspace. Able to test my content fragment using this URL
https://experience.adobe.com/?devMode=true&ext=https://123456-pocProject.adobeio-static.net&repo=aut...

Then, I have clicked on Approval. Added all the details. Now, system admin has approved the workspace.
Now, the status of Production workspace is Published.

In that case, now this extesion should work for my AEM dev, UAT env.
when I open the content fragment in new Content Fragment Editor protal
But, Its not working as expected.
Ideally now, without modifying the url (i.e withour ?devMode=true &repo=details) feature shoulf work

I have referred this video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDc0QEUOBB8

Can someone help me with this?

Hi @Mahesh_Gunaje 

It appears your Content Fragment extension, deployed and approved in the Production workspace, isn’t working in your AEM dev and UAT environments without the devMode=true parameter. This suggests a configuration step might be missing after publishing. Log in to Adobe Experience Manager Extension Manager, select the appropriate program and environment, and enable the extension. This step, likely missed. I believe. 

Please confirm this once 

Thanks

Thanks @partyush   for understanding my issue. 

I checked this URL. Selected the right  program and environment. 

https://experience.adobe.com/#/@abcd/aem/extension-manager/

Then, in the right section I cannot see my Content Fragment Extension project. Discussed the same with my AEM architect. He told me that custom Extension project will never show here. This portal is for public extension project. So, once the production workspace is approved, this feature will be automatically available for all our AEM environments.

But, as per this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDc0QEUOBB8 and some other info., I should be able to see my project under Extension Manager (After the prod workspace approval)

Not sure, why project is not visible in Extension Manager

Thanks

Hi @Mahesh_Gunaje ,

There are 2 often-missed conditions for your extension to be activated in AEM:

1. Extension Is Not Auto-Activated Post "Publish"
Publishing makes it eligible for activation-
But activation still requires the admin to bind the extension to environments (dev/uat/prod) via Extension Manager.
This is not automatic even after "Published" status.

2. Extension Manager Does Not Show Custom Extensions by Default
You are correct Extension Manager UI is for public extensions. But your extension should appear under:
  - https://experience.adobe.com/#/@<org>/aem/extension-manager/program/<programId>/environment/<envId>
If it doesn’t show:
  - It means the metadata in the manifest.yaml or project submission didn’t meet the expected format, or
  - The Adobe App Builder project wasn’t tagged properly as an extension type (extensionPoint: aem.cfm.editor.contenteditor.hooks) during submission

Try below solution:
Step 1: Double Check Your manifest.yaml
Ensure your manifest in the production workspace contains the following correctly:

extensionPoints:
  - id: aem.cfm.editor.contenteditor.hooks
    view: index.html
    configuration:
      resourceType: your/custom/resource/type
​

If extensionPoints is missing or malformed, it will never show in Extension Manager.

Step 2: Re-deploy Production Workspace with aio app deploy --prod

Step 3: Ask Admin to Bind Extension via Adobe Support

If it still doesn't show under Extension Manager UI:

  - This is a known limitation.

  - You must raise a support ticket via Admin Console

Thanks a lot @AmitVishwakarma  for your detailed explanation.

Able to figure out the exact issue.

Issue was in the file: app.config.yaml

extensions:

  aem/cf-editor/1:

    $include: src/project-folder/ext.config.yaml

Earlier   "aem/cf-editor/1" this was different text. Now, I have corrected this line. Deployed the code to Production workspace. Able to see the project in Extension Manager portal.
