Frappe Cloud cannot uninstall app and update fails: Could not find valid source for app "Appe"

Frappe Framework Bug
1

Hello,

I am on Frappe Cloud and trying to remove an app named “appe” from my site.

App name: “Appe”
Appe version shown in Installed Applications: 0.0.1

When I try to uninstall Appe from the site, the job shows:
“App Appe is a dependency of hrms. Uninstall hrms first.”

But from the site backend, hrms hooks show only:
required_apps = [‘frappe/erpnext’]

It does not show Appe as a dependency of hrms.

When I try to upgrade/update the site, Frappe Cloud shows:
“Could not find a valid source for app appe.”

So it looks like Appe is installed on the site, but Frappe Cloud/bench does not have a valid source repository for the app.

What is the safe way to fix this on Frappe Cloud?

The error indicates that appe is still registered as an installed app on the site, but its source repository is no longer available to Frappe Cloud. As a result, upgrades and uninstalls cannot complete normally.

Since this is a Frappe Cloud site, the safest solution is to contact Frappe Cloud Support and request removal of the orphaned appe app reference from the site. Once the stale app entry is removed, site updates and app management should work normally again.
