Hi,

I have been in touch with Microsoft Support, who confirmed the issue outlined below is a known problem, the Support case number is 2405230050000654. They have tested it in a test environment and experienced the same issue. Can this please be fixed?

Issue example:

We have R and RStudio deployed to some of our devices as required installs within Intune. The apps are available within the Company Portal for users to install. R is a dependency application of RStudio. When upgrading to the new versions of R and RStudio, I have set up the following:

The new version of R has a supersedence of the previous version of R and is set to replace (uninstall) rather than update.The new version of RStudio has a supersedence of the previous version of RStudio and is set to update.The new version of R is set as a dependent app of the new version of RStudio.

When deploying the new apps as a required install or if a user clicks install within the Company Portal to get the new version of the app, it gives a supersedence relationship conflict error: “App cannot be installed due to a supersedence relationship conflict. (0x87D300DB).” I have tried changing the supersedence of R to update rather than replace (uninstall), but the same error occurs. The only way to fix the issue is either by removing the dependency relationship between the apps or removing the Supersedence from the new R application, this then resolves the issue. However, R is required, and removing the dependency means that R is not automatically installed for the user and this functionality should be possible without having to do workarounds.

This issue occurs with any apps set up in this manner, not just the example apps above.

Please can this be fixed?
