Platform API version
The Platform API version is a semantic version (major, minor and patch) that indicates the version of the Platform API on which an app is built.
The Platform API version maps information about the Planon version and its components. If any of the components is changed, causing a break in functionality, a new major version of the Platform API is released. This mechanism visualizes (maps) the compatibility between the app and the Platform API.
Examples
• The major version of the app and the Platform API must always be the same.
• Patches remain working on the same major version.
An app version 2.0.1 remains compatible with Platform API 2.0.0.
• Apps are only upwards compatible:
◦ It is possible to install an app on a higer minor version (e.g, 2.0.0 on 2.1.0).
◦ It is not possible to install an app on a lower minor version (e.g. 2.1.0 vs. 2.0.0). The app may be using an API function that is not available.
 | Planon currently supports the following Platform types: • general • mobile • web |
